• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 40432 - Production version required - Planned order &1 will not be converted ?

  The SAP error message "40432 Production version required - Planned order &1 will not be converted" typically occurs when you are trying to convert a planned order into a production order, but the system cannot find a valid production version for the material associated with that planned order. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, solution, and related information for this error:
  Cause:
  
  Missing Production Version: The material for which the planned order is created does not have a production version defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The production version may not be correctly configured or may not match the requirements of the planned order.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may be incomplete or not properly maintained, particularly in the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) views.
  Routing Issues: The routing associated with the material may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of a production version.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Production Version:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check if a production version exists for the material in question.
  If it does not exist, you will need to create a production version using transaction code C202 or through the material master data.
  
  
  
  Create/Update Production Version:
  
  If a production version is missing, create a new one by specifying the relevant details such as the routing, BOM (Bill of Materials), and other necessary parameters.
  Ensure that the production version is valid for the planned order's requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the material master data is complete and correctly maintained, especially in the MRP views.
  Check if the material is set up for production and that all necessary data is filled in.
  
  
  
  Check Routing:
  
  Verify that the routing for the material is correctly defined and that it corresponds to the production version.
  Ensure that the routing is active and has the necessary operations defined.
  
  
  
  Recheck Planned Order:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to convert the planned order again. If the production version is now available, the conversion should proceed without errors.
