  Liability reserve is a feature of SAP Real Estate Management (RE) that allows users to set aside funds for future liabilities. This reserve is used to cover any potential costs associated with the real estate, such as taxes, repairs, and maintenance. The liability reserve can be used to pay for these costs without having to dip into other funds. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the liability reserve, users must first set up a liability reserve account in the SAP system. This account will be used to store the funds that are set aside for future liabilities. Once the account is set up, users can then transfer funds from other accounts into the liability reserve account. The funds can then be used to pay for any future liabilities associated with the real estate.
