• Key Concepts: 
  Portfolio category is a component of the SAP Financial Services (FS) Banking and Portfolio Management (BA-PM) Credit Risk Management (CR) module. It is used to classify and group portfolios of credit risk exposures into categories, such as corporate, retail, or small business. This allows for more efficient management of credit risk by providing a way to quickly identify and analyze exposures in a portfolio. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the portfolio category component, users must first define the categories they wish to use. This can be done by creating a new portfolio category or editing an existing one. Once the categories have been defined, users can assign each credit risk exposure to a specific portfolio category. This will allow for more efficient analysis of the portfolio as a whole. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating or editing portfolio categories, it is important to consider how the categories will be used in order to ensure that they are properly defined and organized. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all credit risk exposures are properly assigned to the correct portfolio category in order to ensure accurate analysis of the portfolio.
