  Periodization is a feature of the Corporate Performance Monitor (CPM) component of SAP's Financial Services Solutions (FIN-SEM-CPM). It allows users to divide their financial data into different periods, such as monthly, quarterly, or yearly. This allows users to analyze their financial data more accurately and make better decisions. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use periodization in CPM, users must first define the periods they want to use. This can be done by setting up a period template in the CPM configuration. Once the template is set up, users can assign it to their financial data and begin analyzing it in the desired periods. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a period template, it is important to consider the frequency of the data being analyzed. For example, if the data is monthly, then a monthly period template should be used. This will ensure that the data is accurately divided into the desired periods.
