Copy Planning Version
Application component: Version Management
App type: SAP GUI
Description:  You can use the Copy Planning Version transaction (/SAPAPO/VERCOP) to completely or partly adopt the data of one planning version in another. The program copies data from one planning version to another one within a model. The program supports parallel processing. If you use parallel processing, the program performs different tasks not one after the other but simultaneously. With parallel processing, you can usually improve performance considerably when copying the planning version. However, due to the greater number of tasks to be performed in parallel, the load on the system is likely to be higher. The Copy Planning Version transaction allows you to specify the scope of the data you want the system to copy. The performance of the transaction is improved in the following ways:   Improved parallel processing logic that results in better runtime   Partial copy option for copying master data and transactional data   
Key features:  If you copy master data, the version-specific master data in the target version is created as follows:   Based on the version-specific master data of the source version, if it exists, and if the source version is not the active version   Based on the version-independent (model-specific) master data, if the source version is the active version   The system always copies all resource master data from the source version to the target version. Note If you copy from the active (000) version, depending on the master data object you copy, the system copies the data from model 000, or from the model and version-independent data (in some types of master data, this means the master data entries from the 000 version).  Copy Modes The program can operate in two modes:   Full If you choose this option, the system copies version-dependent master data resulting in new version-dependent entries for all master data elements, and all orders.   Partial If you choose this option, the system provides you with several options to specify exactly what kind of data you want to copy.     Partial Copy If you choose the partial copy option, you can specify the scope of the copy in the following tab pages:    Location Product Selection  You can define the range of location products by the following criteria:    Location Product  You provide the range of location products to be copied explicitly, by entering either the location, the product, the planner, and so on. In the Selection Extension field, the system provides the option of extending the selection to include related location products.    Transportation Lane  The system selects location products that are transported on the set of transportation lanes you specify.    Production Resource  The system selects location products with production activities on the set of production resources you specify.      Master Data Objects  On this tab page, you can choose for each master data object type to copy all or none of the master data objects. You can also choose to apply the location product selection, except in the case of locations. The system interprets the location product selection as follows:   Location products The system copies only the location products included in the selection.   PDS created by Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) The system copies only the PDSs that contain any of the selected location products as main output component. Note If, on the Location Product Selection tab page, you have specified production resource as the basis of location product selection, the result might be a wider set of PDSs than your original selection.   Transportation lanes The system copies only the transportation lanes that can be used for transporting any of the selected products to any of the selected locations. Note If, on the Location Product Selection tab page, you have specified transportation lane as the basis of location product selection, the result might be a wider set of transportation lanes than your original selection.   Quota arrangements The system copies only the quota arrangements that apply to any of the selected location products.      Transactional Data  On this tab page, you can specify the transactional data you want the system to copy. You can choose from the following options:   For order data and stock, you can specify the Available-to-Promise (ATP) categories and the horizon. The system copies only the orders that have at least one element with the given ATP category within the given horizon.   For project order, you can specify the numbers of orders to be copied.       Test Mode In test mode the system does not make any changes to the target version. In other words, the system does not delete or create the target version, and does not copy any data. The system only simulates the copy of master data and writes and displays the detailed log. The system does not simulate the copy of transactional data.   Parallel Processing If you use parallel processing, the system copies most of the master data, time series, and orders in parallel to each other. Parallel processing allows the application server to connect to the database server and the SAP liveCache server in parallel, and insert entries into more database tables at the same time, which improves performance.   Application Log The system creates a detailed application log that displays a list of the master data objects that were copied. To create the detailed log, select the Detailed Results checkbox in the Application Log screen area. You can also specify that you want the system to display the detailed log immediately after the planning version copy has finished, by selecting the Display Log Immediately checkbox.   Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) To prevent inconsistencies arising from transfers by the Core Interface (CIF) that take place in parallel to the copying of the active planning version, two Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) are available:    BAdI: Deactivate CIF Before Copying Planning Version (/SAPAPO/MVM_COPY1)    BAdI: Activate CIF After Copying Planning Version (/SAPAPO/MVM_COPY2)   You can modify the possibilities of extending the location product selection by implementing the BAdI BAdI: Location Product Extension (/SAPAPO/MVM_COPY_EXTEND).
