differentiating characteristic

Real Estate Management (RE)

Characteristic that serves the purpose of selecting one of several correspondence activities within a correspondence application for the letter print, based on certain criteria.

This is controlled by funtion modules that are assigned to the correspondence applications in Customizing.

Example:

In the "notice" correspondence application, you can determine the assigned "reason for notice" as a differentiating characteristic; this means that the correspondence activity assigned to this notice reason is used in the letter print of each selected lease-out (rental agreement in Releases prior to 4.6C).
