• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFV073 - Select only one production version to navigate to the recipe ?

  The SAP error message CFV073, which states "Select only one production version to navigate to the recipe," typically occurs in the context of production planning and recipe management within SAP. This error indicates that the system requires a single production version to proceed, but multiple production versions have been selected or are available for the material in question.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Production Versions: The material you are trying to work with has more than one production version defined in the system. When you attempt to navigate to the recipe, SAP requires you to specify one production version to avoid ambiguity.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the transaction may inadvertently include multiple production versions, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Production Versions:
  
  Go to the transaction code C223 (or C201 depending on your version) to view the production versions for the material.
  Identify the production versions available for the material.
  
  
  
  Select a Single Production Version:
  
  When prompted to select a production version, ensure that you only select one. If you are using a selection screen, make sure to deselect any additional production versions.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction:
  
  If you are using a specific transaction to navigate to the recipe, ensure that you are using the correct transaction code that allows for the selection of a single production version.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data (transaction code MM03) to ensure that the production versions are correctly defined and that there are no discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the production versions or how to navigate to the recipe, refer to your organization's SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Production Version: A production version in SAP is a combination of a material and a specific recipe or bill of material (BOM) that defines how the material is produced.
  Recipe Management: In SAP, recipes are used in the process industries to define the production process, including the materials, quantities, and operations involved.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as C223 (for production versions) and C201 (for creating and managing recipes).
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning and recipe management.
