  Key Concepts: 
  A characteristic structure is a type of data structure used in SAP software. It is used to store and organize data in a hierarchical manner. It consists of characteristics, which are the basic elements of the structure, and values, which are the actual data stored in the structure. The characteristic structure is used to store and analyze data in SAP software, such as in SRD-CC-ANA CRO-Analytics. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a characteristic structure, you must first create a hierarchy of characteristics. This hierarchy can be as simple or complex as needed. Once the hierarchy is created, you can then add values to each characteristic. These values can be numerical or textual, depending on the type of data being stored. Finally, you can use the characteristic structure to analyze and visualize data in SAP software.
