Summary :
The SAP Note outlines processes for integrating and modifying characteristics within operating concerns, focusing on updates and checks against existing data tables. Users can define new characteristics using existing tables (e.g., customer or material master) ensuring the tables meet specific criteria such as key structure and data type limitations. Detailed steps involve assigning domains, defining data elements, and executing reports for integration into field catalogs. Modifications include changing check tables for characteristics, where guidelines are provided based on SAP releases, emphasizing the system's constraints like key composition and permissible table types for higher releases. It is critical for adherence to domain configuration and maintenance of foreign key relationships to ensure functionality and integrity in characteristic evaluations and data assessments.
