  Key Concepts: 
  Attribute is a term used in SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (MDM) to refer to a characteristic or property of an object. Attributes are used to describe the object and can be used to search for and identify the object. Attributes can be either single-valued or multi-valued, and can be of different data types such as text, numbers, dates, and so on.
  
  How to use it: 
  Attributes are used in SAP NetWeaver MDM to describe objects. When creating an object, attributes must be specified in order for the object to be identified and searched for. Attributes can also be used to group objects together, allowing for easier management of large amounts of data.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating attributes, it is important to consider how they will be used. For example, if an attribute is intended to be used for searching, it should be made searchable. Additionally, attributes should be given meaningful names that will make them easy to identify and understand.
