  Key Concepts: 
  A non-cumulative key figure is a type of key figure used in SAP's FS-BA-SD Source Data component. It is a numerical value that is not cumulative, meaning that it does not add up over time. Instead, it is a snapshot of the current value at any given point in time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Non-cumulative key figures are used to measure the current value of a particular item or process. For example, they can be used to measure the current stock level of a product, or the current number of orders placed. They can also be used to measure the current performance of a process, such as the number of orders processed in an hour. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using non-cumulative key figures, it is important to remember that they are only a snapshot of the current value and do not take into account any changes that may have occurred over time. Therefore, it is important to use other types of key figures, such as cumulative key figures, to get a more accurate picture of how a process or item has changed over time.
