2. Contract management-The real estate contract lets you manage all contracts related to your real estate portfolio:
o Real estate contracts of the lease-in category (such as, commercial, internal, residential)
o Real estate contracts of the lease-out category (such as, commercial, internal, residential)
o General customer contracts (such as, service contracts with the tenant)

o G/L account contracts (such as, for posting reserves for service charges)
o Security deposit agreements

3. You can assign any number of rental objects from different business entities, buildings or company codes to any one contract.
