Copying Versions

Service Administrators can copy data from one bottom-up or target version of a selected scenario to another bottom-up or target version within the same scenario.

Data source types: Planning, Planning Modules

Note:

Starting in Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management 21.12, the Copy Version command is available only to Service Administrators.

For example, you can create a Best Case version and copy some or all the data in that version to a Worst Case version to quickly create a starting point for the new version.

You can copy between bottom-up and target versions.

  • When you copy to a bottom-up version, only the selected level 0 members are copied.

  • When you copy to a target version, all selected members are copied.

  • To protect data in approved planning units, copying a version does not copy to approved planning units.

Note:

To successfully copy data, when specifying the copy data criteria, you must select at least one member for the Scenario, Account, Entity, Period, and Version dimensions.

To copy a version:

  1. Perform an action to access the Copy Version dialog box.

    • From a form, in the Planning ribbon, select Copy Version.

    • From an ad hoc grid, right-click the application name.

  2. From Scenario, select the scenario to copy.

  6. Use the arrow keys to select entities from Available Entities. You can copy entities with a Process Status of Not Started or First Pass.
  7. Optional: To copy associated information, select any of these options:

    • Copy Account Annotations. Only annotations for selected entities are copied. If you are copying to a bottom-up version, only level 0 entities (and their annotations) are copied.

    • Copy Cell text and Document links

    • Copy Supporting Details

  8. Click Copy Data.

    Note:

    Wait for the Copy Version completion message before loading another web page.
