  The SAP error message CK636 ("Please enter either production version or BOM data/planning data") typically occurs in the context of material costing or when trying to create or change a material master record. This error indicates that the system requires either a production version or Bill of Materials (BOM) data to proceed with the costing process.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Production Version: The material does not have a production version defined, which is necessary for the costing process.
  Missing BOM Data: The system cannot find the relevant BOM data for the material, which is essential for determining the components and their costs.
  Missing Planning Data: The planning data for the material may not be set up correctly, which can also lead to this error.
