Definition

Evaluation group in the Business Information Warehouse such as cost center or product group.

Characteristics are used in InfoCubes (and as data fields in the corresponding dimension tables).

When you use a global InfoObject catalog, in which all the defined InfoObjects (in particular characteristics and key figures) are stored for all data structures with their properties, you can only assign an InfoObjekt name once.
