  Key Concepts: 
  Sibling is a term used in SAP BusinessObjects Profitability and Cost Management (EPM-PCM) to refer to a node that is at the same level in the hierarchy as another node. For example, if there are two nodes at the same level in the hierarchy, they are considered siblings. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Siblings can be used to compare different nodes in the hierarchy. For example, if you have two siblings at the same level, you can compare their performance or cost data to see which one is performing better. This can be useful for making decisions about how to allocate resources or optimize processes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When comparing siblings, it is important to consider other factors such as the size of the node or the amount of resources allocated to it. This will help ensure that you are making an accurate comparison and not just relying on one factor. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Sibling nodes can also be used to create relationships between different nodes in the hierarchy. For example, if two siblings are related, then changes made to one node will affect the other node as well. This can be useful for creating complex hierarchies and understanding how changes in one area will affect other areas of the business.
