Sets are used to group selection criteria and denote it as a fixed value or variable.
The groups allow Real Estate objects to be selected and enable the groups to be available in all clients with a set name, for example to select a business entity according to the criteria in the group.
In the Real Estate component, only the set type "Basic sets" is used.
A set is an ordered group of elements that are of the same type.
FI-LC employs sets for numerous areas, such as data input, currency translation, intercompany eliminations, and reports.
The following types of elements can occur:

Specific instance of a set type. For example, you have the set type Shipping with the attributes Shipping condition and Delivery priority . A possible instance of this set type would be a shipping set with the values Free on board and High respectively.
