Hi Ashok,

Version Management is used to see/use the different versions of an Object/program.

If it is a table or program

from the Menu Utilities-> version management

you will see lot of versions (if exists).

Refer this link for ECC 5.0 & 6.0:

Hi Ashok,

Let me share my points in the view of editor. Suppose you finsihed the enhancement in the code and select pretty printer immediately one version will be generated. Then your all modifiations will be maintained in taht version. suppose user wants the preveious program then it can be possible through version management, just select menu path UTILITIES>VERSION MANAGEMENT and then tick the olld version and select retrieve the version button. Now old version will be over lapping with the existing one.

Hope this helps you. Reply for queries, shall post the updates.

Regards.

You can compare versions entered for a material, and you can copy one or all schedule lines from the version you are using for comparison. You can use this function to copy the planned independent requirements or the schedule lines of other materials.

Setting Periodicity for Versions

Procedure

To compare versions created using different periodicity, you can change the periodicity of both versions to a common periodicity using Change period.

If the same periodicity has been set for both versions, the system highlights the lines that contain different quantities, and displays the percentage of the deviation in a third column.

To set the periodicity for versions, select Edit ? Change period, and select the periodicity in which you want to compare the versions.

Result

The system highlights the periods in which the versions in comparison differ from each other. It also displays the percentage deviation between the quantity on the right and the quantity on the left in the Dev % column.
