  The SAP error message C5636, which states "The production version you specified does not exist," typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution when the system cannot find a valid production version for a material. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Missing Production Version: The specified production version for the material does not exist in the system. This could be due to the version not being created or being deleted.

  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as the material master or production version data.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the production version.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Production Version:
  
  Go to the transaction code C202 (Display Production Version) or C201 (Change Production Version) and check if the production version exists for the specified material and plant.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create a new production version.

  Check Plant Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the production version is assigned to the correct plant. If the production version is plant-specific, it must be created for each relevant plant.
