What is one-dimensional versioning in SAP FS-BA-RD - Results Data?

SAP Term: one-dimensional versioning

• Component: FS-BA-RD

• Component Name: Results Data

• Description: Versioning schema that is used to store aggregates that were generated from results that use the 'single versioning with reversal' versioning schema. The 'one-dimensional versioning' versioning schema is used only within aggregation levels. The validity of results is not externally affected here. The versioning key consists of the internal ID and the timestamp only. If a result does not yet exist, a result data header is created in which the internal ID is stored. Then the system creates a new version that is valid as of the timestamp that is used. If the result already exists, the system creates a new version and stores its data. The version that is valid at this point in time is updated because its validity ends with the timestamp of the new version.

• Key Concepts: 
  One-dimensional versioning is a feature of the FS-BA-RD Results Data component of SAP software. It allows users to store multiple versions of the same data in a single table, allowing for easy comparison and analysis. This feature is especially useful when dealing with large datasets that may need to be updated frequently. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use one-dimensional versioning, users must first create a version table in the database. This table will contain the different versions of the data that will be stored. Once the table is created, users can then add new versions of the data to the table by using the “Create Version” command. This command will create a new version of the data and store it in the version table. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a version table, it is important to ensure that all versions are properly labeled and organized. This will make it easier to find and compare different versions of the data. Additionally, it is important to keep track of which version is currently active so that users can easily switch between versions when needed. 
  
  Related Information: 
  One-dimensional versioning is similar to two-dimensional versioning, which allows users to store multiple versions of data in multiple tables. Additionally, one-dimensional versioning can be used in conjunction with other features such as data archiving and replication for more advanced data management capabilities.
