• Key Concepts: 
  A characteristic feature in SAP Real Estate Management (RE) is a property of an object that can be used to classify and group objects. Characteristic features are used to store information about objects, such as their size, location, or type. This information can then be used to filter and sort objects in reports and other documents. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Characteristic features can be used to create custom reports and documents in SAP RE. To do this, users must first define the characteristic features they want to use. This is done by creating a characteristic feature profile, which is a set of characteristics that can be assigned to an object. Once the profile is created, users can assign the characteristics to objects in the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a characteristic feature profile, it is important to consider how the characteristics will be used. For example, if the characteristics are being used for reporting purposes, it may be beneficial to create multiple profiles with different sets of characteristics. This will allow users to easily filter and sort objects based on different criteria.
