“Selection of Production Version” at the time of converting planned order to Production order

Intro: – Hi folks, I am writing this blog on “Selection of Production Version” at the time of converting  Planned order to Production order.

Let’s assume for one Finish goods there are lot of productions versions, when we create planned order and convert it into Production order specific production version is selected automatically, based on how we set the master data in MRP 4 view (production version).

With the help of this Blog, we understand how to select production version manually, when we convert planned order into production order.

What is production version?

◉ A production version determines which alternative BOM is used together with which task list/master recipe to produce a material. With the help of production version, we can differentiate our material in many ways. Production version was optional in the ECC version, but it become mandatory in the new S4/HANA version, for all types of production.

Process:

First as we can see the production versions for the finish goods.

Here in this image seven production versions are available for finish goods.

Production version screen T-code: – C223

Now check the configuration of “Order type-dependent parameter” in T-code OPL8.

Select correct plant & order type.

So here production version selection is Automatic i.e., 0

Order Type-Dependent screen T-code: – OPL8

Now given Planned Independent Requirement for Finish goods which is 100970. Then run the MRP through MD02 and the requirements are generated as well as planned order gets created.

Check MD04 screen

Stock/Requirement list screen T-code: – MD04

Now convert this planned order into production order.

After directing to CO01 screen go to master data tab, now you can see production version gets selected automatically based on availability.

Production order screen T-code: – CO01

To avoid the automatic selection of production version we can make the following changes in to the configuration of “Order type-dependent parameter” in T-code OPL8.

◉ Production version: – Select 1 (Manual selection of production version)

◉ BOM explosion: – Select 2 (Read with newly determined explosion date)

Order Type-Dependent screen T-code: – OPL8

Here, we have given PIR for Finished goods which is 100970. Then run the MRP through MD02 and the requirements are generated and planned order gets created for finished goods.

Check MD04 screen

Stock/Requirement list T-code: – MD04

Now try to convert Planned Order into Production Order, In MD04 screen.

System asks me to select the production version.

Now here we can choose 0005 production version.

After choosing production version, we are directing to CO01 screen, in which we can see the selected production version.

Production order screen T-code; – CO01

Summary: – With the help of this blog, we can understand the manual selection of production version at the time of converting planned order into production order when there are multiple production versions for a single Finished good and order type dependent parameter configuration and how it will affect the production version selection.
