  Key Concepts: 
  Period over Previous Period (POP) is a feature of SAP Spend Performance Management (EPM-SA) that allows users to compare the current period’s performance against the previous period’s performance. This comparison helps users to identify trends and make informed decisions.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use POP, users must first select the period they wish to compare. This can be done by selecting the “Period Over Previous Period” option in the EPM-SA menu. Once selected, users will be able to view a comparison of the current period’s performance against the previous period’s performance.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using POP, it is important to remember that the comparison is only as accurate as the data entered into EPM-SA. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all data is accurate and up-to-date before making any decisions based on the comparison.
