Previous year figures in planning book

Question

Hi all,
I want to show the previous year figures in the planning book.
According the help documentation of planning books it must be possible to add actual data and previous year figures (Demand Planning - Demand Planning Process - Planning book design - Planning book: "Add rows containing actual data from the current year and/or the previous year").
Actual data is easy by refering to 000 version. But how can I add previous year data?
Thanks for your help
Jean

I think what it means is that if you go to the dataview tab in the Planning book design you can see a field called Initial Column.
If you use initial column you will be able to add all the buckets in the period previous to the first future period. Its not necessarily last year but previous periods.
(though i dont understand what you menat by seeing actual using 000 version)
It makes more sense in an SNP planning book for a KF like Stock
as the help says...
"The initial column covers the time span from 1970 until the beginning of the first future period minus 1 second. The data is read from a key figure that is stored in liveCache orders or liveCache time series. However, you can also populate this column with data using a macro, such as has been done with the Initial stock key figure in the standard Supply Network Planning data view.
Enter one of the following values:
Blank - No initial column
L - The initial column is displayed on the far left of the table.
R- The initial column is displayed on the far right of the table.
C - The initial column is displayed between the past planning horizon and the future planning horizon."
