  Key Concepts:
  Period over period is a feature of SAP Spend Performance Management (EPM-SA) that allows users to compare the performance of their spend over different periods of time. This feature allows users to analyze their spending patterns and identify areas for improvement. 
  
  How to use it:
  To use the period over period feature, users must first select the two periods they wish to compare. This can be done by selecting the start and end dates for each period. Once the two periods have been selected, users can view a comparison of their spend performance between the two periods. 
  
  Tips & Tricks:
  When using the period over period feature, it is important to ensure that the two periods being compared are of equal length. This will ensure that any differences in performance are due to changes in spending rather than differences in time frames. Additionally, users should consider comparing multiple periods in order to get a better understanding of their spending patterns over time.
