  Key Concepts: 
  Net present value (NPV) is a financial concept used to evaluate the profitability of a project or investment. It is calculated by subtracting the initial cost of the project from the present value of all future cash flows associated with the project. The NPV calculation takes into account the time value of money, which means that money received in the future is worth less than money received today. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Transaction Manager component of SAP’s Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM) module can be used to calculate net present value. This component allows users to enter data such as initial costs, expected cash flows, and discount rates to calculate NPV. The results can then be used to evaluate the profitability of a project or investment. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating NPV, it is important to consider all relevant factors such as inflation, taxes, and other costs associated with the project. Additionally, it is important to use realistic estimates for expected cash flows and discount rates in order to get an accurate result.
