  Key Concepts: 
  Pledge ratio is a term used in SAP Financial Accounting (FI) to describe the ratio of pledged assets to total liabilities. It is used to measure the financial health of a company and its ability to meet its financial obligations. The higher the pledge ratio, the more secure the company's financial position. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP FI, the pledge ratio is calculated by dividing the total value of pledged assets by the total liabilities. This ratio can be used to assess a company's financial health and its ability to meet its financial obligations. It can also be used to compare different companies and their financial positions. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating the pledge ratio, it is important to consider all assets and liabilities, including those that are not pledged. This will give a more accurate picture of a company's financial position. Additionally, it is important to consider any changes in the value of assets or liabilities over time when calculating the pledge ratio. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The pledge ratio is closely related to other financial ratios such as debt-to-equity ratio and current ratio. These ratios can be used together to gain a better understanding of a company's financial position. Additionally, it is important to consider other factors such as cash flow and profitability when assessing a company's financial health.
