• Key Concepts: 
  Characteristic categories are used in SAP Real Estate Management (RE) to group characteristics together. Characteristics are attributes of a real estate object, such as size, location, or type. Characteristic categories allow users to quickly and easily identify and compare objects based on their characteristics. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Characteristic categories can be used to create a master data template for real estate objects. This template can then be used to quickly and easily create new objects with the same characteristics. Characteristic categories can also be used to filter objects based on their characteristics, allowing users to quickly find the objects they need.

  When creating characteristic categories, it is important to consider how they will be used. For example, if you are creating a characteristic category for size, you should consider whether you want to use metric or imperial measurements.
