Hi Praveen,
In OM, you can create all objects and their relationship to create Org Hierarchy.
There are various method available to create all obejcts in OM like Organization and staffing method, General structure through which you can create and their relationship. You can create also evaluation path thorugh general structure. Evaluation path is nothing but chain of relationship between objects.
Plan version:- Plan versions allow you to create several organizational plans in the system at the same time. You can simulate and compare various scenarios using plan versions. A plan version also enables you to carry out various simulations and compare plans in the system in parallel. As a rule, only one plan version depicts your enterprise's current organizational plan
Path:- IMG  Personnel Management  Global Settings in Personnel Management  Plan Version Maintenance  Maintain Plan Versions (Tcode-OOPV). You can set active plan version by using switch PLOGI PLOGI by giving 01(OOAP) under this 01-active paln version, you can create all objects and relationship.

Plan version and org structure

Dear all,
As the company is planing to change/expand it's org structure, they created a new org structure. Someone said that, we can do future planing in by creating a dummy org structure and once it's approved, we can make it as original and will keep the old org structure for reference. And to activate the new org structure, we need to create a new plan version.
So my question is,
1. How to assign/link the new org structure to the new plan version? How can we make sure that the new changes (eg. any new joinee) will effect only in the new org structure and not in the old org structure?.
2. How to transfer the old org structure details to the new org structure?
Regards
ET

Hi Thomas,
You can copy your active org structure through Tcode (RE_RHCOPL00 - Copy) then in Table T77S0 make the Plogi - Plogi switch as 02 that is your alternate plan version. Then through PSO0 you can set this plan version.
Hope this helps.

What is the significance of plan version?

Hi all,
Pls tell what is the significance of plan version? What will happen if I create some orgunit oin current plan and some org unit in another plan?

Hi..,
Plan versions are scenarios in which you can create organizational plans.
==>In the plan version which you have flagged as the active plan version, you create your current valid organizational plan. This is also the integration plan version which will be used if integration with Personnel Administration is active.
==>You use additional plan versions to create additional organizational plans as planning scenarios.
But Only one plan version will be active at any time !!!
As a rule, a plan version contains one organizational structure, that is, one root organizational unit. It is, however, possible to create more than one root organizational unit, that is more than one organizational structure in a plan version.
For more information on creating plan versions, see the Implementation Guide (IMG), under Personnel Management ® Global Settings in Personnel Management ® Plan Version Maintenance.

Plan Version - FI/CO

Hi,
I am relatively new to FI/CO. I have some queries with regards to version.
1) What is the significance of version? Are version and Plan version synonymous
2) With respect to plan cost there is something called plan version.Does actual cost have something similar? Does budget have something similar?
3) If the answer to Q.2 is 'NO', then does make sense to use 'plan version' to actual costs/budget. Does SAP provide this logic.
Could someone provide me some link/documentation regarding the above mentioned issues.Mail them to [email protected]
Regards,
Roshith

Actual version is zero. The plan version is mapped to
actual in config. there is only one actual version. You can have many plan versions. This allows companies to be flexible to change the plans as needed. Your reports can then be set up to run against the plan version you designate. Version 1 maybe set up a the start of the year. Version 2 could be set up later based on new information. Here's some documentation on version in the IMG for FI.
POINTS ASSIGNED are appreciated
The same concept holds true in CO but the plans are entered independently.
Define Plan Versions
You can define plan versions in this activity. You have the option of posting planning data from each fiscal year to an unlimited number of versions.
Example
You can define several versions of your annual budget plan and base each version on different conditions. You can also create several versions for your financial reports, whereby each report is based on different sales revenue.
Activities
1. To create a new plan version, choose New entries. You can also change an existing plan version.
2. Enter 0 in the column Ld (Ledger). This is the general ledger, and is the only ledger in G/L Accounting where planning can be undertaken.
3. Enter the key for your new version in the Ver column.
4. Specify how the planning data is to be posted:
a) If you want to plan data manually for the specified combination of ledger and version, select Man. plan.
b) If you want to transfer the data from the Overhead Cost Controlling (CO-OM) or Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) component for the specified combination of ledger and version, select Plan Integ.
5. Enter a name for the plan version.
6. Save your plan version.

Evaluation Path and Plan version

Hi Experts,
Can anyone please help me understand the concept of Evaluation Path and how the Evaluation path and the plan version settings are used in real time scenarios.
Thanks,
Sindhu.

Hi,
See, a reporting structure, staff assignment, organization structure are all evaluations paths themselves. The relationship between objects is defined.
A lot of standard evaluation paths exist. But in case you dont have the path which meets your requirement you create a new one.
Suppose you want to find out which all Tasks are linked to a job which is linked to a position which reports to an Org Unit
so your evaluation path will traverse Org unit then position then the job then the tasks assigned.
A relationship between an object is also a evalution path
hope this helps

Plan Version

Hi All,
Can you please explain the concept and use of Plan Version.
Regards,
Chinmay

Identifies the organizational plan you are currently working with by providing a short description of the plan. from F1
go to oopv transaction and create the different plan version
2. then go to table T77S0 and set current plan version to plogi plogi
3. go to transaction ppom_old here in settings you can choose current plan or any other plan.
4. if you want to copy exsisting org structure to other plan version see the report: RE_RHCOPL00
Plan Version Contains a one or two alphanumeric key which differentiates between
scenarions in you organizational plan.
Organizational Management allows you to manage scenarios in parallel in
various plan versions.
It basically defines which plan of the org structure to use.Suppose if want one current org structure (say A)and one org structure for future( say B) after 2 years,then we take 01 ie current plan as assign to the org structure A and assign 02 to org structure B.This will say that A is the current plan and if want an alternative plan its B. Hope i am clear

CN41, CNS41 don't work on planning version 001 and project version

Iu2019ve an issue:
Iu2019m working on release ECC 6.0.
I did the overall planning, costs and revenues (structure planning on Project), then I saved data on project version and on planning version 001.
When I run the CN41 or CNS41 with plan data in plan version 001 (costs and revenues) and plan data (costs and revenues) in project version, the report doesnu2019t let me see the plan data in the Project version column neither in the planned cost/rev. 001 column.
The hot patches on my system is on SAPKH60013.
Any one could help me?
Pierluigi.

FYI for others searching on this issue, there are a few OSS Notes that explain this:
Note 148971 - Planned values in Project Information System
"4. The Planned costs column in the structure overview and the planning board corresponds to the Overall planned costs column in the hierarchy reports if you implemented Note 106823..
If you implemented Note 106823 (included in the standard system as of Release 4.0B), only the annual values of the WBS elements, networks and orders are displayed. Column 'Planned costs' in the structure overview and planning board corresponds to the 'Total of year'. If this effect is not desired, Note 106823 has to be removed or should not have been implemented beforehand. In addition, if you implement Note 127521, you must remove the changes in object REPS LHFPLU08 of Note 127521 (this applies to Release 30D - 31I). Any other changes can remain."

Plan Versions in SAP HR

What are the uses of Plan Versions? I can see current plan version that is active If I would like to create two plan versions suppose say Current Plan Version 01 and 02 for Future Plan Version? What will be the use if i go for versions? Iam bit confused on this It may sound simple still this making me confused...
Experts please throw some light on this

Hi,
The current plan version should be "01", as set in PLOGI PLOGI. This plan is what is updated whenever personnel changes are made in the system and represents your current organization.
Another verison could be used to create a "future state" or a "what if" scenario. For example you can have a version for a 20% decrease in the work force. Or a 20% increase in the workforce. Or if your company acquired another company. Then what would your reporting structures be? You could build each in a different plan version to see.
Then, if one of your scenarios came to be true and you wanted to utilize that structure, you could make that plan version the active version and all relationships would change to that new "current" plan version. Even if they never come true, the various plan versions can be utilized by management for "what if" scenarios.
An example of one that could actually happen, say your company acquired another company, but the deal would not be final until July 1st. Your management wants to build the org structure so they can see what it will look like July 1st, but you are not make any changes to the current structure until then. You could create a new plan version by copying the current structure, then add the new company and changing the relationships as necessary. Once management has approved this version, you would make it the "current " version in PLOGI PLOGI on July 1st and all the relationships and new assignments would now be active and seen in the structure and in PA.

Actual and Plan Versions

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could give me a general overview of actual and plan versions.
Points will be awarded generously.
Thanks,
Deki

Versions are nothing but scenarios.
There can be only one Actual, so only one version is available for Actual i.e 0
But the comapny can have different plans on the basis of various business scenarios for example, if they acheive 80% capacity utilisation or achieve break even etc for flexible reporting. This will help easy comparison at the period end.
Hope you are now clear about the versions.
Thanks
Siva
