• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6P144 - Planning with several production versions indicated with prod.version "*" ?

  The SAP error message 6P144 indicates that there are multiple production versions available for a material, and the system is unable to determine which one to use for planning purposes. This typically occurs when you have not specified a particular production version in your planning run, and the system finds multiple versions that could potentially be used.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Production Versions: The material in question has several production versions defined in the system, and the planning process does not know which one to select.
  Missing Selection Criteria: The planning run does not have sufficient criteria to narrow down the selection to a single production version.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with how the production versions are configured in the material master.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify a Production Version: When running the planning process, ensure that you specify a particular production version if you know which one should be used. This can often be done in the planning transaction or by adjusting the selection parameters.
  
  
  Review Production Versions: Check the production versions defined for the material in the material master (transaction MM03). Ensure that the production versions are correctly set up and that they meet the requirements for the planning process.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters: If you are using a planning tool (like SAP APO or S/4HANA), review the planning parameters to ensure that they are set to select the appropriate production version based on your business logic.
  
  
  Use Default Production Version: If applicable, you can set a default production version in the material master, which the system will use if no specific version is indicated during planning.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling production versions in your version of SAP.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material), MD04 (Stock/Requirements List), or MD61 (Create Planned Independent Requirements) to investigate and manage production versions.
  Material Master Views: Check the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) view of the material master to see the production versions and their details.
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide patches related to production version handling.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message and ensure that your planning process can proceed without ambiguity regarding production versions.
