  Key Concepts: 
  Subtype is a feature in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (EPM-BPC) that allows users to create different versions of the same object. This allows users to create multiple versions of the same object, such as a budget or forecast, and store them in the same database. Subtypes can be used to store different versions of the same object, such as a budget for different departments or a forecast for different time periods. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use subtypes in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (EPM-BPC), users must first create a subtype. This can be done by selecting the “Create Subtype” option from the menu. Once the subtype is created, users can then assign it to an object, such as a budget or forecast. The subtype will then be associated with that object and any changes made to the object will be reflected in the subtype. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating subtypes in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (EPM-BPC), it is important to give each subtype a descriptive name so that it is easy to identify later on. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all objects associated with a particular subtype are consistent with each other. This will help ensure that all objects associated with a particular subtype are up-to-date and accurate.
