• Key Concepts: 
  A characteristic group is a feature of the SAP EHS Management in ERP component that allows users to group characteristics together. Characteristics are attributes of a material or product that can be used to describe it, such as color, size, weight, etc. Characteristic groups allow users to quickly and easily assign multiple characteristics to a material or product at once. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use characteristic groups, users must first create the group in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the “Characteristic Groups” tab in the EHS Management in ERP component and selecting “Create”. From there, users can enter the name of the group and select the characteristics they wish to include in it. Once the group is created, users can assign it to materials or products by selecting it from a drop-down menu. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating characteristic groups, it is important to consider how they will be used. For example, if a user wants to assign multiple characteristics to a material or product quickly, they should create a group with all of the relevant characteristics included. This will save time and ensure that all of the necessary characteristics are assigned correctly.
