  Key Concepts: 
  Position determination type is a feature of SAP IS-U-EPM Energy Portfolio Management that allows users to define the rules for determining the position of a contract in the portfolio. It is used to determine the position of a contract in the portfolio based on certain criteria such as contract type, contract start date, and contract end date. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use position determination type, users must first define the criteria for determining the position of a contract in the portfolio. This can be done by creating a new position determination type or by modifying an existing one. Once the criteria have been defined, users can then assign the position determination type to a contract in order to determine its position in the portfolio. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating or modifying a position determination type, it is important to consider how it will affect other contracts in the portfolio. For example, if a new position determination type is created that assigns contracts with a start date after a certain date to a different position than other contracts, then all contracts with a start date after that date will be affected.
