Status and Tracking and Variables

Hi,

My planning package uses a BPS variable for characteristic "0VERSION" which allows users to select which version to plan on, they can select an appropriate value from a drop down box (variable selector) on the web interface.

In STS, the way the client would like the workflow to work is to have a new planning session for each version, that means each planning session will have a different version characteristic value defined in Header Characters for Planning Session.

My question is - Is it possible to populate a BPS Variable (used in planning packages) with the value that was defined in the header characteristics in the planning session in STS?

If not, how else can you have the STS workflow for each version?

Another way of looking at my problem is -

The client can have up to 40 different versions, hence the requirement.

Would appreciate any feedback on this issue

Kind regards,

Marinos
