hi,

yes you can have many versions. it can usedd to distinguish the source of the requirement. i.e With the version number various planned independent requirements can be indicated according to their origin. For example, whether the demand program results from SOP or from the material forecast.

Versions can be set to active and inactive. Only active versions are included in the planning run.

Using the version compare function, you can compare various versions of a demand program with each other.

You can also create versions for long-term planning.

Thanks for your reply

Can we have more than one active version at a time, and what all settings are to be done for the same.

Hi,

1) There is a check box next to version no. If it is checked it it means the version is active else inactive.

2) You can have more than one version active... there is no restriction on that. No additional settings to be done, it is a standard option. But the system will not allow you to create two versions with the same version no.. Thats all

In txn MD61 I am not able to find any check box next to version number, can you please clarify more where can I find the check box for making the version active or inactive.

Hi,

Go to MD61 click on Requirement parameter or press F5 there at bottom you will get active box press F1 on it you will get details. So active tick mark for version is active, that is, relevant to MRP.

Hi,

Ok... now i realise you are working from the base screen.

Go to MD61, Enter Material name, Plant, version no and hit Enter.

In the next screen, you have the following fields... Material, MRP Area, version(V), Version Active (A).

The fourth field (A) has a check box for making a version active or inactive.

Dear,

Version is set of data which can be maintained for different purpose.

Example - Varsion which represents the LTP data and version which represents the MRP data, version which represents the data of SOP.

I hope you got the point..else come back
