In this step, you make the settings for versions.

You can create a new version each time you want to show a different planning alternative. For example, you can create one version for optimistic planning, and one version for pessimistic planning. The individual versions are stored separately in the system. You can compare the versions in reports (for instance, a plan-plan comparison or a comparison of actual values with different versions).

In order to maintain this complex data object, you have to make the settings in the following order:

  1. Settings at controlling area level
  2. Version parameters that are dependent on the fiscal year

Notes

  • The term "version" replaces the previous term "planning version" or "plan version." All the settings remain the same.
  • For planning, it is mandatory that you maintain the parameters that are dependent on the fiscal year.
  • Investment programs do not support delta versions.

Requirements

  • You must have already worked through the step "Maintain controlling area" in the Implementation Guide for "Controlling General" under "Organization."
  • You must have already worked through the step "Maintain versions" in the Implementation Guide for "Controlling General" under "Organization."

    If you have not carried out those steps, you can carry out these actions now under the menu option "Extras -> General version definition."

Standard settings

When you create a controlling area, the SAP system automatically creates the version "0", which is valid for 5 fiscal years. The system determines the earliest fiscal year in this version based on the control indicators that you set when creating the controlling area:

  • If you set control indicators for the current year or past years, then the 5 years start with the current year.
  • If you only set control indicators for years in the future, the system uses the earliest of these future years as the start of the 5 years.

Recommendation

  • If you only want to plan for one version, SAP recommends that you use version "0".
  • Actual data from primary cost entry and internal activity allocation are posted to version "0". SAP therefore recommends that you use this version for plan-actual comparisons.

Activities

  1. Change the existing version to meet your needs.
    1. Enter a name.
    2. Specify that plan data can be managed in the version. Set the appropriate indicator.
      3. The indicator "Manage actual data" is not allowed for versions for planning on investment programs.
  2. Maintain the year-dependnent paramaters for the version.

Notes on Transport

For the transport of versions, there is a separate function in the Implementation Guide "Controlling General."
