• Key Concepts: 
  A characteristics key is a feature of SAP Real Estate Management (RE) that allows users to define and store characteristics of real estate objects. Characteristics keys are used to store information such as the size, location, and type of a real estate object. This information can then be used to search for and compare different real estate objects. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Characteristics keys are used to store information about real estate objects in SAP RE. To create a characteristics key, users must first define the characteristics they want to store. This includes the name of the characteristic, the type of data it will store (e.g. text, number, date), and any additional information that may be needed. Once the characteristics have been defined, users can then create a characteristics key and assign it to a real estate object. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a characteristics key, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary information is included. This will ensure that the key is able to accurately store all of the relevant information about a real estate object. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the characteristics are properly defined so that they can be easily searched and compared.
