  Key Concepts: 
  Document subtypes are used in the SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (EPM-BPC) component to categorize documents. They are used to differentiate between different types of documents, such as input forms, reports, and journals. Document subtypes can also be used to control access to documents, as well as to assign specific properties to documents. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Document subtypes are created in the EPM-BPC component by navigating to the “Document Subtype” tab in the “Administration” section. From there, users can create new document subtypes and assign them specific properties. Once a document subtype is created, it can be assigned to documents in the “Documents” tab. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating document subtypes, it is important to consider how they will be used. For example, if a document subtype is being used to control access to documents, it should be assigned appropriate permissions. Additionally, when assigning properties to document subtypes, it is important to consider how they will affect the documents they are assigned to.
