3424404 - Version dimension is not disappearing when disabling Planning Capabilities of a new model in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

Version dimension does not disappear when disabling Planning Capabilities of a new model in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC). Furthermore, manually deleting the dimension throws a validation error that the version dimension is missing.

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud (Enterprise) 2024.02

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a new Model (Blank).
  2. From the preference section uncheck ‘Planning’ capabilities option and click on ‘Ok’.
  3. Notice the Version dimension did not disappear. 
  4. Add a new measure.
  5. Delete the ‘Version’ dimension since it is not mandatory for Analytic model.
  6. Try and save the model and it results in the below error:
     "The model you are trying to save has validation errors."
  7. There is a warning in the validation information: 
    "The following objects are missing in your model: Version Dimension".

Cause

This behaviour is by design.

Resolution

With the QRC1 2024 update (wave 2024.02) a new feature that allows more functionality and flexibility when building models was released:

  • Only Account models will still keep the old behaviour: Version dimension will disappear for Analytic Account models.
  • But all New (Measure) models will always show the Version dimension.
