Edit address	Edit Address	When creating a property and a building, the address of the business entity is automatically copied. However, you can enter an address here that differs from that of the business entity. The more details on the address you enter in the dialog box, the faster your system will work. If your system has already stored several addresses for the clients, you receive a dialog box with an overview of the already existing addresses according to the selection criteria.
Assign data on the fixtures and fittings of the building	Additional data tab	Depending on the representative list of rents, the fixture and fittings characteristics are relevant for the rent adjustment. An indicator in Customizing for Real Estate determines whether the fixture and fittings characteristics can be assigned to the building and/or the rental unit. If you create a rental unit based on the building, the fixture and fittings characteristics of the building are copied. Since changes to the fixture and fittings characteristics in the building master data are not automatically inherited to the rental unit, you will have to make these changes in the rental unit later.
