SAP Enterprise Buyer provides you with version management for purchasing documents. As a first step, you can display versions of purchase orders and contracts.
The system creates a version in the background if you, as a purchaser, carry out one of the following actions:
· You change a posted purchase order
· You order a posted purchase order again
· You change a contract that has already been released
· You release an already released contract again
In contrast to the change documents that retain a change history, a version displays the status of a document at a specific point in time.
Version management provides a check for you as a purchaser, for example, if you wish to display a purchase order in the form in which you transferred it to the vendor on day X. A version provides clarity, for example, in negotiations on a contract.
Features
You can use versions as follows:
· Display
· Compare and list differences in tabular form. The comparison result has separate areas that can be displayed:
Header data (including organizational data, tax and payment data; partner data and documents)
Item data (including taxes and limits if they exist; partner data, documents; account assignment and conditions)
· Archive, if it relates to transaction data (you can archive versions of purchase orders, but not contract versions)
You cannot change or output versions. This is only possible for the active document.
