• Key Concepts: 
  A child member is a member of a dimension in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (EPM-BPC) that is subordinate to a parent member. It is used to represent a more detailed level of data than the parent member. For example, a parent member may represent a region, while its child members may represent individual countries within that region. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Child members are used to provide more detailed information about the parent member. To create a child member, you must first create the parent member. Then, you can add the child members to the parent member by selecting the “Add Child Member” option from the context menu. You can also add multiple child members at once by selecting the “Add Multiple Child Members” option. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating child members, it is important to ensure that they are properly linked to their parent members. This will ensure that all data associated with the parent member is also associated with its child members. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all child members are properly labeled so that they can be easily identified and understood.
