📘 Utility Property

The Utility Property DocType is designed for managing real estate units and buildings within an ERP system. It supports both basic property definitions and advanced features like fixed asset linkage, unit-level tracking, features and amenities, hierarchical grouping, and location-based categorization.

The Utility Property DocType allows you to:

• Register properties and units (apartments, houses, offices, etc.)
• Organize them in hierarchical groups (buildings, estates)
• Optionally treat properties as fixed assets
• Attach unit-specific details, amenities, and legal info
• Dynamically link to company, location, territory, and utility categories
