Note 519014 - Handling Planning Version Management.

 
Summary
Symptom
In version management, problems can occur while creating, copying, or deleting a version. In this note, some hints and  notes to fix these problems are collected. This note will be updated permanently
Other terms


/SAPAPO/MVM, /SAPAPO/VERCOP,/SAPAPO/VERSION_COPY_TRANS,/SAPAPO/TSCOPY, /SAPAPO/VERSION_DELETE_LC_DB, /SAPAPO/VERDELLD, version, version copy, version delete, version create, copy in background, copy orders, copy time series, stocks, Invalid order, Error while calling COM routine, Performance, Consultancy.
Solution
You can access maintenance of planning versions via transaction /SAPAPO/MVM or via Easy Access Menu -> Master Data -> Planversionsmanagement. Here you can for instance change, create, copy, and delete your Model/planning version. This note will provide some hints on how to manage the planning version.
    1. Create a Planning Version
      a) A planning version can be created via the transaction /SAPAPO/MVM or via the report /SAPAPO/VERSION_CREATE. Note that this report runs only in 'background'. Please refer to note 433825 for more details.
      b) When you create the active version (000), you have to decide if you will work with ATP or not. In case you want to work with ATP, you must set the flag 'Update from ATP time series'. Once this flag is set or not, it cannot be changed again after the version is created. In order to change it afterwards, you have first to delete the whole active version and create it again. When creating other planning versions, this flag remains inactive.
      c) Known problems that may occur while creating a planning version and possible solutions
  • General error in model- and versionmanagement: This error is due to the fact that in LiveCache the planning version already exists but it cannot be found on database. As a remedy, you have to remove this inconsistency by using the transaction /SAPAPO/OM17.
  • After creating a planning version, it cannot be displayed in transaction /SAPAPO/MVM. The reason is that the system parameters are incorrect. Solution is to switch on buffer synchronisation.
  • Creating planning versions in the background is not possible: apply the note 433825
    2. Copy a Planning Version
      a) The following transactions and report can be used to copy a planning version.
  • Transaction /SAPAPO/MVM: Here, set the cursor to a planning version, click on 'Copy Model/planning version' -> Model/version. In the Copy Model/Planning Version screen, determine whether only master data or both master and transactional data should be copied. If you wishto copy both master and transactional data, you can include also the time series and/or orders by setting the appropriate flag(s). Moreover, you can restrict the orders to be copied using the order type. However, copying orders and time series simultaneously leads sometimes to problems. To avoid these problems, it is recommended to use the transaction /SAPAPO/TSCOPY to copy time series.
  • Transaction /SAPAPO/TSCOPY: This transaction is very effective since it offers you the choice of selecting which data area is going to be copied. For other details, please read instructions in the note 440965.
  • Transaction /sapapo/vercop: This transaction is recommended to be used only with Order data and not with Time Series data. Please, do not check the Time Series box when using /sapapo/vercop.
  • Report /SAPAPO/VERSION_COPY_TRANS: This report allows you to copy the source version into an existing version. The report does the following actions:
    • First delete all master and transactional data of the target version preserving its name and profiles.
    • Then copy all master and transactional data of the source version to the target version
  • Report /SAPAPO/VERSION_COPY_PAR (SCM 4.x):This (SCM 4.1)report allows you to copy the source version into an existing version. The report does the following actions:
    • First delete all master and transactional data of the target version preserving its name and profiles.
    • Then copy all master and transactional data of the source version to the target version.
    • Copy and delete data in parallel (see note 916921).
      a) Known problems that may occur while copying a planning version and possible solutions
              The user is requested to check the relevancy of the following notes while copying a planning version and apply any one which should be missing in his system.
  • Consulting issues: Please check first the instructions contained in the following consulting notes:
    • 792803: Version copy: Error 'Invalid planning version'
    • 519146: Incorrect operation dates with planning version copy -> This note is related to assignment of start and end dates to activity when copying a planning version.
    • 440965: Version copy (including time series) terminates -> This note indicates how the user should perform a complete copying of a version including time series.
    • 429422: SAP APO System Requirements for multiple Planning Version -> In this note, you will find a short description of planning version procedures.
    • Consulting issue regarding version copy and synchronous CIF data transfer into active version
                    the synchronous use of CIF data transfer and processing of version copy (from source version 000 into a target planning version) is not recommendable. Thus it is advisable to use an implementation of Business Add-In (BAdI) /SAPAPO/MVM_COPY5 to deactivate the CIF Interface (R/3-APO) during a run of report for copy of active planning version. Further information are also available in note 487261.

    • 439150: Version copy terminates with error /SAPAPO/SNP 014
  • Copying orders or stocks
    • scheduling problem of orders during version copy: the start and end dates of the orders in the target version is differentto the same in the source version.
                    The cause for that is the change of planning parameters in the bucket ressource after creation of orders.
                    An order will be created in the source version planned on a bucket ressource (bucket, transport or mix ressource). After order creation the master data of the corrsponding ressource will be changed - the flag "cross-period-activity" or "activity-overlaps-period" in planning parameters. The order becomes inconsitant and the version copy leads to different basic dates.
                    Solution:The master data should be corrected/adjusted and the inconsistent orders should be deleted in both versions.
                    Example: In planning parameters of the transport ressource the flag "cross-perdiod-activity" is set. The duration of the period is 1 day. Create an order with transport duration of 3 days. Afterwards delete the flag for "cross-period-activity" - the created order becomes inconsitant. After version copy you can check that the tranport ressource in the target version also contains a deactivated flag for "cross-period-activity". The activities of the copied order are scheduled at the end of the time stream due to the attribute of the ressource "non-cross-period-activity".
    • Copy of order categories despite of their exclusion
                    In general LiveCache selects orders by input and output nodes and not by order categories. If a category of an output node has been excluded however the order category of the input node is included in the category selection, LiveCache will always establish all output nodes to the selected input node despite of the before defined exclusion.
                    Solution: excluding a certein category of an outpt node the corresponding/depending category of the input node should also be taken out of the selection.
                    Example: Category AI (planned order) should not be taken into account by version copy. However the order category AY (dependend demand) has been included for the copy selection. As a result the system copies into the target version all receipt elements which are connected to the input node with category AY. So the planned orders with category AI will also copied despite former exclusion.

    3. Delete a Planning Version
      a) In deleting a planning version, the following transactions or reports can be used:
  • The report /SAPAPO/ACT_VERS_DEL is used to delete only the active version. You should execute this report only if you really need to delete the active version since deletion of active version is the same as deletion of all productive data in the system.
  • With transaction /SAPAPO/MVM, the user can delete the whole plann version (in foreground (manually) or in background) or delete from the planning version some or all transaction data .
  • The transaction /SAPAPO/VERDELLD is used to delete the complete planning version. This report can be executed in foreground as well as in background and the user can also schedule the time the version should be deleted in background (go to programm -> Execute in background -> choose output device -> save).
  • The report /SAPAPO/VERSION_DELETE_LC_DB: see transaction /SAPAPO/VERDELLD. Please never use the report /SAPAPO/VERSION_DELETEsince it is obsolete.
  • The report /SAPAPO/RLCDELETE is used to delete the transactional data, mainly definite orders and/or time series, from a planning version.
      a) Known errors that may occur while deleting a planning version and possible solutions.
    • Order doesn't exist: Check inconsistency between DB and LiveCache using transaction /SAPAPO/OM17.
    • Return code 40: Check inconsistency between DB and LiveCache using transaction /SAPAPO/OM17.
    • Return code 222: The version cannot be deleted because a transactional simulation exists for this version. The transactional simulation should therefore be deleted first via application transaction.
    • Resource not found: Remove all inconsistencies using the report /SAPAPO/CRES_CREATE_LC_RES
    • SDP profiles and jobs are deleted although the flag 'just delete transactional data' is set: Implement note 430708
