| version (EC-CS) |
The versions of data that can be managed in parallel to a version for actual data, so as to produce alternative results for the purpose of simulation, planning, and restatement.
Consolidation versions are made up of an array of special versions in which Customizing settings from the various areas of Consolidation are saved (for example, data entry, tax rates, translation methods, and so on). Special versions reduce the amount of effort required for defining consolidation versions that are largely identical, since each special version is maintained centrally and can be referenced by any number of consolidation versions.
