Characteristic Type - Characteristic Entities

To define the entities (objects) on which a given characteristic type can be defined, open Admin Menu > Characteristic Type and navigate to the Characteristic Entities tab.

Description of Page

Use the Characteristic Entity collection to define the entities on which the characteristic type can be used. Owner indicates if this is owned by the base package or by your implementation ( Customer Modification).

Note: The values for this field are customizable using the Lookup table. This field name is CHAR_ENTITY_FLG.
Note: Heads up. For many entities in the system, the valid characteristics for a record are defined on a related "type" entity. For example, in Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing the meter type defines valid characteristics for meters of that type. When configuring your system, in addition to defining the appropriate entity for a characteristic type, you may also need to link the characteristic type to an appropriate entity "type".
