• Key Concepts: 
  Separation block is a feature of SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation (EPM-FC) that allows users to separate data into different blocks. This feature is useful for creating different scenarios and consolidating data from multiple sources. It also allows users to create different versions of the same report, which can be used for comparison purposes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the separation block feature, users must first create a new block in the application. This can be done by selecting the “Create Block” option from the menu. Once the block is created, users can add data to it by selecting the “Add Data” option. The data can then be manipulated and consolidated as needed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the separation block feature, it is important to remember that each block can only contain one type of data. For example, if you are creating a report that contains both financial and non-financial data, you will need to create two separate blocks for each type of data. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the data in each block is consistent and up-to-date.
