• Key Concepts: 
  Simulation version is a feature of the SAP Project System (PS) component that allows users to create a copy of an existing project and make changes to it without affecting the original project. This allows users to test out different scenarios and see how they would affect the project before committing to any changes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a simulation version, users must first select the project they want to copy. Then, they can choose the “Create Simulation Version” option from the menu. This will create a copy of the project with all of its data and settings, but with a different name. Users can then make changes to this copy without affecting the original project. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a simulation version, it is important to remember that any changes made to the copy will not be reflected in the original project. Therefore, it is important to keep track of any changes made in order to ensure that they are applied correctly when needed.
