  Key Concepts: 
  Subsequent measurement is a process used in the Accounting for Financial Products (AFP) component of SAP’s Financial Services (FS) Business Application (BA) suite. It is used to measure the value of financial instruments at regular intervals, such as at the end of each accounting period. This process helps to ensure that the financial instruments are accurately valued and reported in the company’s financial statements. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use subsequent measurement, the user must first set up the relevant parameters in SAP. This includes setting up the valuation methods, such as market value or fair value, and setting up the frequency of measurement. Once these parameters have been set up, the user can then run the subsequent measurement process. This will calculate the value of the financial instruments at regular intervals and update them in SAP. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all parameters are set up correctly before running subsequent measurement. This will ensure that the values are calculated accurately and that any changes are reflected in the company’s financial statements. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update these parameters as needed to ensure that they remain accurate and up-to-date.
