What is delta version in SAP CO-OM-ABC - Activity-Based Costing?

SAP Term: delta version

• Component: CO-OM-ABC

• Component Name: Activity-Based Costing

• Description: Additional, statistical version based on a reference version. Delta versions are generated to allow other allocations for selected transactions. Allocations within a delta version have no influence on the operational value flow in the SAP system. Consequently, no process costs can be allocated in Product Costing, Cost Object Controlling, or Profitability Analysis. Delta versions can reference other versions across more than one level. This means that the reference version can itself be a delta version that references yet another version.
