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

RijkersB

A lot of organisations seem to use "Fake Versions", vs. Native Versions. How do "Fake Versions" work.

Please could someone explain how to set up and use "Fake Versions", How they should be used and of course how they work (the logic underpinning them).
Thanks

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,
