  Key Concepts: 
  Calculation period is a feature of SAP SUS-PFM Product Footprint Management that allows users to define the period of time for which they want to calculate the product footprint. This period can be set to any length of time, from a single day to multiple years. The calculation period is used to determine the total product footprint for a given period of time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the calculation period feature, users must first select the start and end dates for the calculation period. This can be done by selecting the start and end dates from a calendar or by entering them manually. Once the start and end dates have been selected, users can then select the type of product footprint they want to calculate (e.g. carbon footprint, water footprint, etc.). The calculation period will then be used to calculate the total product footprint for the selected period of time. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a calculation period, it is important to consider how long you want to measure the product footprint for. If you are measuring a short-term impact, such as a single day or week, then a shorter calculation period may be more appropriate. However, if you are measuring a long-term impact, such as multiple years, then a longer calculation period may be more appropriate.
