What does deactivating versions for selected levels affect in a planning model?

Deactivating versions for selected levels in a planning model specifically impacts the availability of actuals. When versions are deactivated, the associated data related to those versions is no longer accessible for reporting or analysis, which directly affects users’ ability to view actuals that correspond to those versions.

In planning models, different versions are often created to manage various scenarios or planning cycles. When a version is deactivated, it signifies that the data within that version should not be used for any future calculations or comparisons, thereby making those actuals unavailable for users.

This action does not directly influence data accuracy, as the accuracy of the remaining active versions may still remain intact. It also does not change historical version references since those records are typically kept for auditing and reporting purposes. Lastly, the hierarchical structure of the planning model remains unaffected because deactivation is limited to the version level and does not restructure existing hierarchies.
