●      You can overwrite the characteristic on a class-specific basis (see also Class).

●      You can create and modify long texts for a characteristic.

●      You can assign documents to a characteristic.

Characteristic Values

You can make the following changes to characteristic values:

●      You can create new values.

●      You can add, modify, or delete language-dependent descriptions for the values.

●      You can assign global or local object dependencies and delete assigned object dependencies.

●      You can overwrite the value on a class-specific basis (see also Class).

●      You can create or modify long texts for a characteristic value.
