Re: "Fake Versions", vs. Native Versions. How do "Fake Versions" work and how do you set them up.

Hi @RijkersB These are pros & Cons of Native and Fake versions.

Native Versions

Pros:

1. We can use switchover

2. We can use bulk copy action

3. Allow us to compare

Limitations:

1. Cannot use Lookup and Sum

2. Cannout use as line item formatted

3. Cannot create Version Subsets

Custom Versions

Pros:

1. We can use Sum and Lookup

2. We can use as line item formmated

3. We can use subsets

4. Can be use as production list

Cons:

1. We cannot use native switchover

2. We have to control it by DCA

Thanks,

Bishal

Fake versions are just a list used a dimension in the same way that real versions would be.

Here is a great article that shows some of the differences:

Re: Can someone help explain what is the difference between a fake version list and native lists?

@Victor Y

Native Versions are the versions that come with Anaplan.

"Fake Versions" or Custom Version is a list found under General Lists that is created by the model builder.

@RijkersB

It is just another list that you create under General Lists, but happens to be called Scenarios or Version List or whatever you want to call it. The members ste likely Actual, Budget, Plan, and/or Forecast.
