• Key Concepts: 
  Characteristic attribute is a feature of the Executive Information System (EC-EIS) component of SAP. It is used to store and manage data in the form of attributes, which are characteristics that describe an object or entity. Characteristic attributes are used to define the structure of data in the system, and can be used to filter and sort data for reporting purposes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Characteristic attributes are used to define the structure of data in the system. They can be used to filter and sort data for reporting purposes. To create a characteristic attribute, you must first define the type of attribute you want to create, such as a text field, number field, or date field. Once you have defined the type of attribute, you can then assign values to it. These values can be used to filter and sort data for reporting purposes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating characteristic attributes, it is important to consider how they will be used in reporting. For example, if you are creating a characteristic attribute for customer age, you may want to create separate attributes for age ranges such as 18-25, 26-35, etc., rather than just one attribute for age. This will allow you to more easily filter and sort data for reporting purposes.
