Versions 

Use

Within a special purpose ledger, you can store different versions of data. You can also store a specific record type per version.

A record type can be one of the following:

You define a version by record type and version number.

You can define two different versions for your plan data - plan version 1 and plan version 2.

Versions within a record type are already defined on your FI-SL system.

You can add more versions using the in Customizing for Special Purpose Ledger.

The FI-SL version concept is a result of the planning portion of the FI-SL software package. Using FI-SL's planning software, you can maintain various planning versions for the same or different periods. SAP uses plan versions as well as allocation versions; under carefully controlled circumstances, FI-SL also uses various actual data versions. The FI-LC System also uses versions to establish various consolidation options and to determine which consolidation versions are the most desirable.

Until Release 3.0, actual data was always taken over into FI-SL’s version 001. Now, you can store actual CO data in different FI-SL versions. The versions must be assigned to the ledger in order for the data that uses the version to be updated in the ledger. Version 001 is still reserved for FI, SD, and MM actual data.

For more information about defining versions, see the Maintain Plan Versions and Maintain Actual Versions steps in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Special Purpose Ledger.
