Definition

Specifies the version for the objects of this subobject type.

The following version categories are possible:

  • Without version
  • Simple version without draft
  • Version to which drafts can be assigned
  • Draft
  • Dummy

    A dummy is not visible and does not contain any information. It is simply a technical tool that the system uses when a draft is created without a version being created beforehand.

Use

Dependencies

The version category of the object type determines whether you are allowed to create versions and drafts for an object. When you create an object, the system automatically adds the version or draft number by incrementing the object's highest existing version or draft number. The full object key then contains the object key plus the version or draft number separated by a separator.

You define the version category, separator, and length of the individual parts of the complete key for the object subtypes in Customizing for Recipe Management in the IMG activity Versioning Settings.

Example

The complete key of the EXAMPLE object is structured as follows (with a period (.) as a separator):

Version Type     Complete Key

No version     EXAMPLE

Simple version     EXAMPLE.001

Version that can be assigned drafts    EXAMPLE.001.000

Draft     EXAMPLE.001.005
