Do you know Characteristics in SAP System ?

Answer Posted / sireesha

A characteristic is an qualitative classification term such as division, region, department or company. Characteristics are criteria according to which, data for key figures is saved and evaluated, for example, revenue per division.

he characteristics can be both existing fields in the SAP System (for example, material) and enterprise-specific fields that you create when maintaining an aspect. The characteristics are stored in the EC-EIS/EC-BP field catalog and can be used in several aspects. You maintain the characteristics when defining an aspect.
You determine various characteristic values for a characteristic (for example, characteristic division has the values Pharmaceuticals, Colors, Chem.; characteristic region has the values North, South). A combination of characteristic values (for example division: Pharma, Region: South) is called an evaluation object. You can find out how to maintain characteristic values in the section
