Documentation

Definition

Characteristics are key fields for evaluations in aspects (EIS) or in operating concerns (CO-PA).

Examples

• Product group
• Customer group
• Sales organization

Note

With the use of a global field catalog, in which all defined fields (especially characteristics and basic key figures) are stored with their attributes across data structures, a field name can only be assigned once within an application.
