• Key Concepts: 
  Surcharge is a feature in SAP Real Estate Management (RE) that allows users to add additional charges to a rental contract. This could include additional fees for services such as cleaning, maintenance, or utilities. The surcharge is calculated based on the rental contract and can be adjusted as needed.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the surcharge feature in SAP RE, users must first create a rental contract. Once the contract is created, users can add a surcharge by selecting the “Surcharge” option from the menu. From there, users can enter the amount of the surcharge and select the type of surcharge (e.g., cleaning fee, maintenance fee, etc.). The surcharge will then be added to the rental contract and will be reflected in the total cost of the contract.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a surcharge, it is important to make sure that it is accurately reflected in the rental contract. This means that users should double-check that the amount of the surcharge is correct and that it is being applied to the correct rental contract. Additionally, users should make sure that any changes to the surcharge are reflected in the total cost of the rental contract.
