• Key Concepts: 
  Inheritance relationship is a feature of SAP EHS Management in ERP that allows users to define relationships between different objects. This allows users to create a hierarchical structure of objects, where the properties of the parent object are inherited by the child object. For example, a user can define a relationship between a plant and its departments, so that any changes made to the plant will be automatically applied to its departments. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use inheritance relationships in SAP EHS Management in ERP, users must first define the relationship between two objects. This can be done by selecting the parent object and then selecting the child object. Once the relationship is established, any changes made to the parent object will be automatically applied to the child object. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining inheritance relationships in SAP EHS Management in ERP, it is important to consider which properties should be inherited by the child object. For example, if a user wants to define a relationship between a plant and its departments, they should consider which properties should be inherited by the departments (e.g. safety regulations).
