• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C5603 - No production versions exist for material $ $ ?

  The SAP error message C5603, which states "No production versions exist for material $ $," typically occurs when you are trying to create a production order or perform a related operation for a material that does not have any production versions defined in the system. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Missing Production Versions: The primary reason for this error is that the material in question does not have any production versions defined in the system. Production versions are necessary for the system to know how to produce a material, including the bill of materials (BOM) and routing to be used.
  Incorrect Material Type: The material may not be set up correctly in terms of its type or status, which can affect the availability of production versions.
  Plant-Specific Settings: Production versions are often defined at the plant level. If the material is not assigned to the correct plant or if the production version is not defined for that specific plant, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create Production Versions:
  
  Go to transaction code C202 (or use the menu path: Logistics > Production > Master Data > Production Version > Create).
  Enter the material number and the plant.
  Define the production version by linking it to the appropriate BOM and routing.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Check Existing Production Versions:
  
  Use transaction code C201 to display existing production versions for the material.
  Ensure that there are production versions defined for the relevant plant.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data using transaction code MM03.
  Ensure that the material is set up correctly, including the material type and status.
  
  
  
  Check Plant Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the material is assigned to the correct plant where you are trying to create the production order.
  If necessary, create or adjust the material master data for the correct plant.
  
  
  
  Consult with Production Planning Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct production versions or BOMs to use, consult with your production planning or engineering team to ensure that the correct data is being used.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Production Versions: These are used in SAP to manage different ways of producing a material, allowing for flexibility in production planning.
  BOM and Routing: Each production version is linked to a specific BOM and routing, which defines the components and the steps required to produce the material.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  C202: Create Production Version
  C201: Display Production Version
  MM03: Display Material Master
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on production versions and their configuration.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the C5603 error and successfully create production orders for the material in question.
