• Key Concepts: 
  Method-based multiplier is a feature of SAP EPM-BPC Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) that allows users to apply a multiplier to a value in a BPC model. This multiplier can be used to adjust the value of an item in the model, such as revenue or expenses, based on a specific method. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the method-based multiplier, users must first define the multiplier in the BPC model. This can be done by creating a new method in the BPC model and assigning it to the item that needs to be adjusted. Once the method is defined, users can then apply the multiplier to the item by entering the desired value into the multiplier field. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using method-based multipliers, it is important to remember that they are applied to all items in the BPC model that have been assigned the same method. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all items that need to be adjusted are assigned the same method before applying the multiplier.
