you should automatically use version 0 in legal valuation for actual posting. On the other hand, if transfer
pricing is used, you must maintain parallel actual versions for group valuation and profit center valuation.
You also have to specify operational actual version 0 in your settings. This specification becomes the leading
valuation in determining which planning, price calculation, planned/actual comparisons, and variance
analysis are based.
To maintain currency for valuation methods, follow this menu path: IMG: Controlling➤ General

■■Note
Version keys are freely definable. You can use any version key in this exercise. The version keys we
used in the definition of our version are for illustration purposes and are not the standard. We used G-1 for
group valuation and P-1 for profit center accounting.
Click the Enter button to confirm your entries and save your work. Select or highlight the versions
for the valuation method you have just created (G-1 and P-1) and then double-click the
folder. The Confirm Transfer from Version dialog box pops up with the question,
“Version G-1 does not exist in CO Area C900. Transfer version to CO Area?” Click the
button on
the bottom-right side of the screen. A second Confirm Transfer from Version dialog box pops up with the
question, “Version P-1 does not exist in CO Area C900. Transfer version to CO Area?” Click the
button again and then save your work.
