  Key Concepts: 
  Batch characteristic inheritance is a feature of the SAP IS-HT-MES Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that allows users to define characteristics for a batch of materials and have those characteristics automatically inherited by all the components of the batch. This feature helps to ensure that all components of a batch have the same characteristics, making it easier to track and manage them.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use batch characteristic inheritance, users must first define the characteristics for the batch in the MES. This can be done by selecting the “Batch Characteristics” option from the MES menu. Once the characteristics have been defined, they will be automatically inherited by all components of the batch. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining characteristics for a batch, it is important to ensure that all components of the batch have the same characteristics. This will help to ensure that all components are tracked and managed correctly. Additionally, it is important to remember that any changes made to the characteristics of a batch will be automatically inherited by all components of the batch.
