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.

SAP - Cost Center Planning - Version 1

Dear All
Recently we have started to use the cost center planning through KP16 under plan version -1
However we are unable to down the plan data in excel with a cost center break up through KSBP report.
We are not using any special ledger
System is showing the following error
No plan cost line items recorded.
Message no. KB419
Diagnosis
No planned costs line items are written to controlling area DXES in version 1 of fiscal year 2009.
System Response
The report cannot be executed.
Procedure
Check your selection criteria or activate the line item update function.
Note
The line item update function is controlled depending on the application:
Cost center planning
Here you can define the update for each version and fiscal year. You can maintain the corresponding indicator (integrated planning) in the version maintenance (settings for the fiscal year).
This indicator you can either
set manually when creating a version or
set later via the menu sequence "Planning -> Planning aids -> Integration active".
Regards
Anilkumar

Hi,
The impact is that the planning is stored also as line items and the planning is integrated between the CO-PCA components. In SAP words:
- All available plan records for controlling area/version/fiscal year are posted as line items. The R/3 System posts these line items to the AC interface.
- Any existing line items in the plan allocation transactions (plan assesment, distribution, or accrual calculation) are posted to the AC interface as well and made available to other components.

SAP HR _ OM -Plan versions

Hi Gurus,
I have created multiple Plan versions where one of the plan version is the current and the integration plan version. The company decides to re-org and use the Other plan version.
What are the configurations that have to be done? What changes will take place?
Can a customer just change the current plan version and use the Alternative ones? Is there any particular procedure to change the plan version from Current plan version?
Please help in understanding this concept.

Could you please explain to me what happens when you run this report. The report talks about the transport. I want to know what exactly changes and what all should be changed when Plan version is changed?

Diff: Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3

Group,
Can any one help me to understand the Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3
Thanks in advance !
Richard A

Dear Richard Antony,
The Versioning in the Workflow is very important its some what simmilar to the version on any SAP Objets like Tables, Program etc.
Here Suppose any change comes in working workflow, then in stead of directly change them you can create a version of them and them modify it. So that you can reverst back to that version if required.
Like wise there is lots of importance of versioning Workflow.
The Active Plan version is also important to establish at SWU3. As all the Workflow is using Organization management which is very depended on the Active Plan version. so based on which Plan version you want to use you can Provide in SWU3 to tell Workflow system to use this.
Hope this will give you a clear picture.
Regards,
Chandrashekhar.

Inspection lot creation based on "right" inspection plan version

I manage inspection plan ( inspection lot origin 01 ) with Change number; in this way I have differents inspection plan version based on date.
When I do a Good Entry based on purchase order , I need that system creates inspection lot version based on the purchase order creation date and not , as now, based on good entry date
Is it possible ?
When I create the purchase order I send to vendor also the inspection plan characteristich that have to be maintened ; for this reason I need to find same characterist during good entry inspection
Regards
Silly

You need to use one of the enhancements that Do-Wook has suggested. There is no standard SAP way to suppress the inspection based on the vendor batch number.
With the first enhancement you use the system to check for a previously received vendor batch and if one is found, then that batch number is proposed and not the next one from the numbering series. In this case, the lot isn't created than due to the inspection lot control of the inspection type.
With the second enhancement you check the vendor batch number and if it's been received you suppress the inspection lot creation and the stock goes right to unrestricted.
You'll probably need to do one or the other. Myself, I prefer the first enhancement.

How to activate planning version

hi,
sap gurus,
in which t.code we will create planing version for product allocation.
please explain how to activate planning version in product allocation. when we go T.CODE MC93
there the planning version 'A00' showing active instead of '000' which works as a updation when ever requried.
regards

Dear,
A00 is active version
What we need to do is create inactive version say 001 or 010 anything and forcast sales plan or production plan
Creat sales plan in MC87 and then goto MC88 make this inactive plan to active plan which system automatically takes to A00
Logistics u2192 Production u2192 SOP u2192 Planning u2192 Version Managementu2192 MC78 Copy
So here in the Source Version Provide the SOP version that you have created,
In the Target Version give Version A00
Hope clear to you.

Easy Cost Planning version 0 cannot be used in DP81

Dear SAP Expert,
Please advice.
We have requirement to do sales pricing in DP81 with project and inquiry.
Some steps that we are doing :
1. Create Inquiry : VA11
2. Create Project : CJ20n
3. Create cost planning with network activity in CJ20n and use Planning cost version 1. ( We are trying to use more than 1 version, not only version 0)
4. Run DP81. It shows error message no expenditure.
In the config ODP1 ( DIP Profile) , version has been activated.
Is there any solution to use ECP with version more than version 0?
Appreciate for the advice.
Thank you.
Nies

Hi Sanjeev,
Sales Pricing (DP81) can read ECP with standard version 0. The issue is that DP81 cannot read version other then 0.
I need to do planning cost using version other than version 0 ( Actual/Planning version)
Thank you for your advice.

Special Ledger - Plan version 0

Hi all!
I have setup Special Ledger with plan version 0 active. If I manually create planning on plan version 0 on projects or cost centers, the plan $ are replicated in SPL as whished. But If I plan hours in a network activity, the plan values are not reported in SPL.
When I try to transfer historical plan data to SPL, I get the following error message :
E Activity KPPE is not supported
I tried to find this activity in SPL configuration of the ledger, but it is not available. Is there a way to allow automatic cost calculation of projects plan version 0 in SPL?
Thanks.

Hey Dominic,
I'm pretty sure the folks at SAP would have an issue with being quoted here in the forums. If you want to post some kind of a summarization of their response, that's probably OK.

Planning Version Mgmt

Hello Gurus -
I have a few questions in planning version management. Appreciate if you can help me out.
Scenario: I have some planning data in the active version 000 and I have used "/SAPAPO/VERCOP - Copy Planning Version" to create a new version 001. Now I have the same data in both 000 and 001.
Then I went on to change some planning data in 001 to do my what if analysis and I arrived at a final plan which I want to see in 000.
Question: How do I do this? Since we cannot just copy it back to 000. Do we have to replan it in 000? Or do I have to delete the existing 000 and then copy/create 001>000? How is this normally done?
Appreciate your help!

Thanks Harish -
I am copying order series data, so I would be using the merge functionality. However the help document says :
SNP orders are not permitted to be published directly into the SAP R/3 system. Communication with the SAP R/3 system is only permitted to take place using the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) component. The system performs a technical check of the corresponding Customizing for this.
It is not permitted for any releases to be made into or out of SNP until all the planning versions that came from an active version have been copied back into this active version.
AND when I tried to copy my simulation version results back into the active version, system does not let me do it and gives a message " Function not possible because of transfer to OLTP systems" and says I should try avoiding transfer to OLTP system.
But I do need to transfer the Preqs(both SNP and Deoplyment and POs from TLB) to R/3 and my SPRO settings for " Configure Transfer to OLTP System" is setup in such a way that I transfer all output of SNP/DEP/TLB to R/3.
Any idea what could be done here?
Thanks a lot..

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.
