  Boundaries in SAP BusinessObjects Profitability and Cost Management (EPM-PCM) are used to define the scope of a profitability analysis. They are used to define the range of data that will be included in the analysis, such as a specific product line, customer segment, or geographic region. Boundaries can also be used to limit the data to a specific time period or to exclude certain types of data from the analysis. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use boundaries in EPM-PCM, first select the type of boundary you want to create. This could be a product line, customer segment, geographic region, or other type of boundary. Then enter the parameters for the boundary, such as the start and end dates for a time period boundary or the product codes for a product line boundary. Finally, save the boundary and apply it to your profitability analysis. 
  
  Tips & Tricks:
