  Key Concepts: 
  User Defined Functions (UDFs) are custom functions that can be created and used in SAP BusinessObjects Profitability and Cost Management (EPM-PCM). UDFs are used to extend the functionality of the system by allowing users to create their own calculations and formulas. UDFs can be used to calculate values, perform calculations, or manipulate data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  UDFs can be created in the EPM-PCM system by using the UDF Editor. The UDF Editor allows users to create their own functions and formulas using a variety of programming languages such as JavaScript, VBScript, and C#. Once a UDF is created, it can be used in any calculation or formula within the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a UDF, it is important to ensure that the syntax is correct and that all variables are properly defined. Additionally, it is important to test the UDF thoroughly before using it in production. This will help ensure that the UDF is functioning correctly and will not cause any unexpected errors or issues.
