Forecast versions

Question

Hi gurus,
At our client here we are using following procedure:
1) independent requirements are loaded into SAP via MD61 for all materials.
We are using version 02 which should not be active (and therefore not impact production)
We then do a simulation DRP run via MS02 and look again at the requirements in MS04.
2) these net requirements (planned orders) that are created there will be downloaded via a development.
Basically this will be download of the planned orders created in planning scenario 900.
3) These planned orders will then be loaded in another production system to see if capacity can handle this.
4) After adjustments of the independent requirements, these will be loaded again in SAP via MD61 for all materials.
This time we use version 00 which should be active (and relevant for production)
My questions to you are:
- how can I put version 02 inactive (and version 00 as active) as default without unclicking all items in MD61 for version 02?
- What would be the easiest way to download these planned orders the simulation DRP run has created?
  A Is there a transaction available for this?
  B SQVI (table PLAF)?
  C development / query?
thanks for your help!!

Hello Guillaume,
Normally, SAP set "Active" indicator for Version Number depending upon the selection on intial screen of MD61. i.e. You can select / deselect indicator- Active in 'User Paramenters' on initial screen of MD61.
Whereas, SAP by default considers Version-00 as 'Active Version' irrespective what has mentioned on initial screen of MD61.
Easiest way to download the Planned Orders is through Table-PLAF.
Hope this will help.
