Versions enable you to have independent sets of planning and actual data.

In planning, you use versions to configure alternative scenarios based on different assumptions. For example, the different versions can represent different employment markets, price and wage increases, or sales programs.

You normally configure the most likely scenario in version 000. The plan data you enter there forms the basis for calculating planned prices for activity types, and determines the rates with which activities containing actual amounts can be settled. Version 000 also contains all actual data postings. The plan and actual data for version 000 can be used in plan/actual comparisons and variance analysis.

You make settings for version maintenance on a hierarchical basis.

In this IMG activity, you make the following settings:

  1. Controlling area settings
  2. Fiscal year settings

Note

  • The term "version" replaces the earlier term "plan/planning version".
  • You can record planning and/or actual data in a version.
  • In planning, you must maintain fiscal-year dependent parameters.
  • If you use parallel valuations and transfer prices, you define parallel actual versions alongside operational version 000 in order to separate different valuations. To do this, you must maintain valuations, by carrying out the activity Create Versions for Valuation Methods in Customizing under General Controlling -> Multiple Valuation Approaches/Transfer Prices
  • In Activity-Based Costing, you can manage actual data in different delta versions of activity-based costing. To do so, you must specify a version that can be referenced. Once you specify this version, the current version is marked as a delta version.

Standard Settings

When you create a controlling area, the SAP system automatically creates version 000, valid for five fiscal years. The first fiscal year depends on the control indicator you set when you created the controlling area:

  • If the indicator is set for the current year or earlier, the five-year period begins with the current year.
  • If the indicator is set for future years, the five-year period begins with the earliest of these years as the first year.

Recommendation

  • If you want to plan in a single version only, use version 000.
  • Actual primary cost data entry and actual data from internal acitivty allocation all post to version 000. SAP therefore recommends you use this version for all plan/actual comparisons.

Activities

  1. To assign versions to authorization groups, define the groups first. These groups determine which users can maintain which versions. To assign authorizations, use authorization object "Controlling: Version" (K_KA09_KVS).

    Maintain Authorizations

  2. Make the version settings in the current controlling area. To switch to another controlling area, choose Extras -> Set controlling area...
  3. Change an existing version to meet your requirements.
    1. Enter a key and a name.
    2. Specify whether plan and/or actual data may be recorded in the version and activate the corresponding indicator.
      3. You cannot activate the actual data recording indicator for version 001.
    3. If necessary, enter an authorization group.
    4. To create a delta version in the Activity-Based Costing component, enter a valid version as the reference version.
  4. Maintain the fiscal year-dependent version parameters.
  5. If you use a delta version in Activity-Based Costing, use Reference version to determine which transactions the system reads from the reference. The system does not execute these transactions in the delta version, but transfers the values from the reference instead.

Note on transport

To transport versions, a separate function exists in Customizing under Controlling -> General Controlling. ( Transport Settings for Organization.
