• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C5629 - Production versions still exist ?

  The SAP error message C5629, which states "Production versions still exist," typically occurs when you are trying to delete or change a material or production version that is still being referenced in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when attempting to delete a material master record or when trying to change a production version that is still active.
  Cause:
  
  Active Production Versions: The primary cause of this error is that there are still active production versions associated with the material. Production versions are used to define how a product is manufactured, including the bill of materials (BOM) and routing.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies in other documents or processes that reference the production version, such as planned orders, production orders, or purchase orders.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity, and it does not allow the deletion of records that are still in use to prevent inconsistencies in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the C5629 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Active Production Versions:
  
  Use transaction code C223 (or C223N in newer versions) to display the production versions for the material in question.
  Identify any active production versions that are still in use.
  
  
  
  Delete or Change Production Versions:
  
  If you need to delete a production version, ensure that it is not being referenced in any active orders or processes. You may need to delete or complete those orders first.
  If you want to change a production version, ensure that the changes do not conflict with existing references.
  
  
  
  Check Related Orders:
  
  Use transaction codes like CO03 (to display production orders) or MD04 (to check stock/requirements list) to see if there are any open production orders or planned orders that reference the production version.
  If there are open orders, you may need to complete or delete them before proceeding.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines related to your version of SAP and the processes in your organization.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  You can also use transaction codes like MM03 to view the material master data and check for any dependencies.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Production Version: A production version in SAP is a combination of a BOM and a routing that defines how a product is manufactured.
  Material Master: The material master record contains all the information related to a material, including production versions.
  Data Consistency: SAP maintains data consistency and integrity, which is why certain actions are restricted if there are dependencies.
  
  If you continue to face issues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
