• Key Concepts: 
  Data slice is a feature of the FIN-CS-ICR S/4HANA Intercompany Matching and Reconciliation component. It allows users to create a subset of data from a larger dataset, which can then be used for analysis or reporting. This subset of data is referred to as a “slice”. Data slices can be created based on specific criteria, such as date range, company code, or document type. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a data slice, users must first select the criteria they wish to use. This can be done by selecting the appropriate fields in the “Data Slice” tab of the FIN-CS-ICR S/4HANA Intercompany Matching and Reconciliation component. Once the criteria have been selected, users can then click the “Create Data Slice” button to generate the data slice. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a data slice, it is important to ensure that all relevant criteria are selected. This will ensure that the data slice contains all of the necessary information for analysis or reporting. Additionally, it is important to remember that data slices are only valid for a certain period of time; if the underlying data changes, the data slice will need to be recreated.
