• Key Concepts: 
  The suspension phase in SAP FS-PM Policy Management is a period of time when a policy is not active. During this phase, the policy is not enforced and no new documents can be created. The suspension phase can be used to temporarily disable a policy or to make changes to it without affecting existing documents. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To enter the suspension phase, the user must select the “Suspend” option from the policy’s menu. This will prevent any new documents from being created with the policy and will also prevent any existing documents from being modified. The user can then make any desired changes to the policy and when they are finished, they can select the “Activate” option to resume enforcement of the policy. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When entering the suspension phase, it is important to remember that any changes made to the policy will not affect existing documents. Therefore, if you need to make changes that will affect existing documents, you should first create a new version of the policy and then activate it.
