  Period budget is a feature of SAP Funds Management (PSM-FM) that allows users to create and manage budgets for specific periods of time. It enables users to plan and control their financial resources in a more efficient manner. The period budget feature allows users to define budget amounts for each period, as well as to monitor and compare actual costs against the budgeted amounts.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the period budget feature, users must first create a budget plan in the Funds Management module. This plan will define the budget amounts for each period. Once the plan is created, users can enter actual costs against the budgeted amounts. The system will then compare the actual costs against the budgeted amounts and provide a report of any discrepancies.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a period budget, it is important to consider the length of each period. For example, if you are creating a budget for a year, you may want to divide it into monthly or quarterly periods. This will make it easier to track and compare actual costs against the budgeted amounts. Additionally, it is important to consider any changes in costs that may occur during the period, such as inflation or currency fluctuations.
