	<GeneralSection ID="E"><Paragraph>Throughout DEM, both modeling and run time processes take place in <Link href="/baanerp/tg/glossary/glossary#000001" role="glossary">versions</Link>. By using versions, <Link href="/baanerp/tg/glossary/glossary#000006" role="glossary">business</Link> models and <Link href="/baanerp/tg/glossary/glossary#000061" role="glossary">model items</Link> can be made uniquely identifiable. Before you can start modeling, you must first define versions and version authorizations in the masterdata.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>If the current modeling version B (derived version) is derived from version A (derived-from version), all components of version A can also be used in current modeling version B, even though these components still belong to version A.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>Consequently, you cannot change the model items from version A in version B. To change these model items, you must first copy them to version B. Therefore, model items can only be changed if they belong to your current modeling version.</Paragraph>

				<List><ListIntro>In version A, the following business functions are included in the business function repository:</ListIntro>
					<ListItem>Gaining New Business</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Executive Support</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Operations</ListItem>
				</List>
				<Paragraph>The version of each separate business function is also A.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>If your current modeling version B is derived from version A, the three business functions mentioned above are also available in version B.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>If you want to change the description of business function Executive Support into Support in version B only, you must first copy that business function to version B, after which you can change the description. The description of that business function remains unchanged in version A .</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>If you want to use another description in both versions, you only have to change it in version A.</Paragraph>
