Creating/Changing a Selection Version 
If you want to create a selection version, then proceed as follows:
The initial screen for changing an info set appears.
You will see the definition screen.
Currency and Exchange Rate Type:
You can specify an analysis currency and an exchange rate. This entries are used in the aggregation lists and serve as default values for the selection screen.
Period to Analyze:
Enter the number of periods for the selected data in the fields Periods to now and Future periods. Place a cross in the field Current period, if you want the current period to be included.
Dynamic Calculation:
If you place a cross in this box, then the system dynamically determines the period to analyze from the current date. This is always recommended if you wish to read the data for the last three months at certain intervals, for instance. If background processing is triggered, in this example the system will always read data for the last three months (based on the current date). For this reason, no period to analyze can be specified when you create a variant for background processing and the selection fields for the period to analyze are no longer displayed during variant maintenance.
Do not place a cross in the field if you wish to read data for a static period, such as the 1st quarter of 1996. This is the selection field for entering the period to analyze.
Distribution List:
You can allocate the selection version to several people who belong to a general distribution list. The selection version is then displayed to these people in the user-specific overview.
User
You can allocate the selection version to exactly one user.

If you do not make an entry in either the Distribution list or in the User field, then the selection version will be made available to all users.
Variant:
You can specify the area to analyze of a selection version in the form of a variant. If a variant is created for a selection version, the name of the variant is displayed in this field.
If you select Edit
® Choose characteristics, a selection list containing the characteristics of the selected information structure appears.The sequence in which you select the characteristics determines standard drilldown.

In the case of selection versions for which data selection is scheduled to run in background processing mode and has been completed, the data for the characteristics selected here is stored in aggregated form. For this reason in subsequent display screens, you can only drilldown on the characteristics specified here. You can only use "real" characteristics. Character key figures that are in the selection screen of the standard analysis that are as additional key figures cannot be selected.
Place a G in the field if you would like to generate an initial list on the level of the selected characteristic.
Create Variant
You can specify the area to analyze of a selection version in the form of a variant.
Proceed as follows:
A confirmation prompt appears. If you answer ‘yes’, you branch to the selection screen of the standard analysis.

The specifications you made in the definition of the selection version for the currency and the period to analyze are transferred as default values to the selection screen.
An overview screen appears, in which you can enter parameters for the variant.
