Difference between Planning Version and Simulation Version

Hi friends,
What is the difference between Planning Version and Simulation Version?
Thanks,
Debi

Debi
There are a lot of threads in this forum that give detailed info about version concept. Also you can refer to help.sap.
Anyways , planning version is the version against which your live cache data is stored. The data against this version is the one that the planners and buyers are going to refer to or use to make their planning and buying decisions. Data against the planning version is nothing but data relevant to the business .
There may be instances where you would like to simulate some scenario. If you want to do trial and error analysis and at the same time if you do not want to impact the actual business data , then you create simulation versions and simulate your scenario.
For example your actual sales orders received for the month of March may be 100 CS. This is the actual number that will be stored against your planning version. Lets say the demand planner wants to find out what will be the impact if there is a sudden bulk demand from a new customer for 500 CS - that is if he wants to do a what - if analysis then he can create a simulation version and try to check the impact .
Thanks

Background jobs deleted when planning version is deleted

Hi everyone,
We are implementing SAP APO version 4.1. We have the following problem. We have a simulation version used from time to time. When it is not used, it is deleted for performance reasons. However, when we delete planning version, background demand planning jobs (SNP jobs as well) are deleted although we do not want this to happen. Is there any suggestion to overcome this problem?
Thanks in advance. Regards,
Jenny

Hi Jenny,
As mentioned by R. Senthil Mareeswaran. it is (unfortunately) standard.
The easiest solution in my opinion is to never delete completely a version.
However you can, to reduce the space consume by the version, "reinitialise" it: instead of deleting it, copy back the active version on your simulaiton version but FOR MASTER DATA ONLY.
This way all transactional data are deleted, which save a lot of space.
I think this will also automatically deinitialise the planning area... If not do that to!
Good new: if you do that yur jobs will not be deleted.
Next time you want to use the version, do again a copy, with transactional data!
Ps: your job can be transported from on system to another, so hopfully you haven't lost them all: just transport / reimport the request
good luck
Thanks and Regards

Please help me to solve this problems.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello Brian!
Look through this note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/781817
You should delete variant in transaction SE38 (but i dont remember what variant (but this is one of the variant in this note) exactly you should delete so try it yourself.)
Also it maybe useful to look through this note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/752838

Stock on hand in SIM planning version

Hi All,
Is there a way the stock copied from the active version 000 to the SIM planning versnon to be updated without running report /SAPAPO/VERSION_COPY_TRANS, but manually? The problem is that if I update the stock with the report the planning version is de-initialized.
Regards
Alper

I am afraid there is no easy way to do mass creation of stock. We have a similar situation where we need to create stock en masse for location products not defined in R3. The way we do it is using an excel file as input load that we make it read through standard function modules and create stock in Live Cache using /SAPAPO/OM_STOCK_CHANGE.
Some other function modules that we use
FILE_GET_NAME
/SAPAPO/DM_VRSIOEX_GET_VRSIOID
/SAPAPO/DATE_CONVERT_TIMESTAMP
/SAPAPO/OM_STOCK_CHANGE
/SAPAPO/DM_PEGID_GET_MATERIAL
Make sure that when you load, use appropriate UoM conversions.

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!
Varun

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..

Mass Maintainance of Planning Version "000"

Folks,
Is there any standard functionality available in SCM 5.0 for mass Maintainance of Planning version "000" to material-locations combinations ? These Material-location combinations are created directly in SCM and are not CIFed from ECC.
Thanks in Advance !!
Regards
Pawan.

Hi Nitin,
Planning-Version-Dependent Location Product Data Plng Version--- appears as a selection criteria but not as an attribute to be maintained. Below is my exact requirements.
Lets say i have manually created products A, B, C...upto Z at location 123 directly in APO.
Now i want to assign these product-locations combinations to 000 Planning version.
In MASSD T-CODE i am not able to location Planning version as an attribute to be maintained ( i.e at bottom most of the screen).
I hope you got my requirements and the problem i am facing.
regards
Pawan.

Add Planning Version in SDP94 header

Hi SCM Gurus,
Is there any possibility to add the planning version information in to the planning book "header", I quote this is because I want the planning version to be shown as the place in attachment. ( through menu I can go to Setting-> Header Information to add version somewhere near the view, but that's not what I want)
Please kindly advise, if I have to make this by user-exit, please indicate the name for me.
Thank you very much!
Br,
Lawrence

Hi Lawrence
Might be completely out of box idea.
If I understood correctly, you want to have this visibility mainly for planner to aware them which version data they are accessing. You could create separate data views for each version and also restrict by authorization.
Once you different versions, you can rename them with versions for example data view name could include version like SNP 104 Weeks (000) and SNP 104 weeks (simulation).
Hope this could help the purpose.
Thanks

CTM ending at planning version Upload

Hi all
i am facing a problem of CTM run ending at planning version upload. My doubt is it is because of the Large amount of Logs in OPT 11. Can anyone tell me how to delete the logs through a background job or change the obselete date of the log. I specifically want a background job, not able to delete it from the menu path by entering RFC destination and File name.
Regards
Virender

You can get rid of all application logs including CTM jobs through SBAL_DELETE program. use options that do not refer to expiry dates.
If the deletion option does not work, it might be useful to put the trace file ON and make sure that the size of the trace file is below the SAP recommended limit. Check SAP help on this.

Different plan version for some scenarios in MSS

Hi guys,
Some scenarios of the MSS need to be referenced to another plan version different than the current active.
Then, I'm trying to configuring my Object and Data Provider with the requisites needed. The issue is that how can I tell the system that the plan version is another one??
Any idea??
Thanks for your answers.

Firstly, try to check whether the correct smartform is getting picked or a different form is getting picked. TO identify, set soft break-point inside your program lines or use SF_TRACE.
If it is still picking the same smartform, and it is not showing your changes.. then goto form attributes and check whether it is translated to all languages or not?
I guess, because of one of the above two problems it is not displaying your form correctly.

Plan versions

Hi ,
I have an issue in creating plan versions.
When I create new plan version and go to activate it then I get a message "If you change the active plan version, you must ensure that all of the objects from the Customizing plan version '.:' are activated in the active plan version.
To do this, start report RHWFACTI "
Can any body throw light on what this message mean please.
And when I go to create new org unit then the plan version which I created should come automatically but its not coming. What may be the problem?
Any help would be fine.
Thanks in advance,
Shanti geera

Hi Kapil,
I tried to create plan version and when I go to save it then again I am getting the old message
" when the active plan version is changed PD objects should be activated"
and then when I activate the plan version in table T77SO along with PLOGI PLOGI and when I go to create org units in t code PO10 screen then my plan version which I have activated is not appearing automatically, I need to change it manually.
Actually when we create and activate our plan versions the screen of maintain plan version i.e, OOPV should have tick mark in both active and current boxes for our present PV. But only active box is ticked but not current box.
Why is this happening?
I even checked in table V_T77SOSC there PLOGI PLOGI CURRENT PLAN which I activated is appearing,
but in tcode OOPV my plan version is marked as active but not marked as current. Where as it should be marked as ticked in active and current boxes right.
I think you are getting what I have wriiten..
What may be wrong?
Can you just check this and tell me what is the mistake I am doing here please
Regards,
Shanti

Costing on Internal Orders with different plan versions

Hi,
Is it possible to carry out Costing on Internal Orders using different plan versions?
I would like to carry out more than one costing on Internal Order so that I could compare different versions. Maybe there are other parameters (other than plan versions) which can be used for executing different parallel costing.
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi Karol,
In Release 3.0, the following new planning functions are available in order planning:
Copy plan versions
In Release 3.0, you can plan order costs for internal orders in different versions. In contrast to earlier releases, you can now
1. change versions
2. copy versions
3. Here you can select :
the planned values to be copied: annual or total values
whether the planned values in the target version are to be retained or overwritten compare versions using the information system
Planned values are not revaluated in the target version (for example, when you change the value date).
Overhead and settlements are not copied and, if required, must be repeated in the target version
