BPS planning strategy need to change

17 Views

Hi all;

I am in a project where we maintain all the planning in a specific version. there is a InfoObject called ZBPS_VERS and we have maintained some master data manually in BPS for example CE (Current Estimate) and this infoobjects are used in all layouts and uploads. All the data for the currect estimates are planned and saved on this version, end of every quarter we copy that into different version and do locked that for unchanged and do the retraction. We don't want anyone changing their data into CE during our retractions...so technically we have lock that CE also for planning, all the validation and stuff...it takes about 3 days...and during that time non of the planner can use this system. I find this design is not really good also when we do the actual copy into SEM we also close that version...this is creating too many days in close and system is not too effective...so I questions myself why do we even have to close the system (we lock CE but sent message to the planners saying the system is closed for 3 days) because they can't planned on CE.

Any one pls give me some good suggestions...as we are moving towards the upgrade I would like to propose a new design...where we should have to close the system.

Thanks.
