<DS:GLOS.36F138F91B385A9EE10000009B38F984>Controlling level</>
<ZH>BOM/Routing</>. Material &V1& is planned for
<DS:GLOS.3526C4C1AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>repetitive manufacturing</>.
SAP recommends using the Controlling level <ZH>Production Version</>
for materials in repetitive manufacturing. The reason for this is that
the quantity structure (BOM/Routing) is always determined through the
production version.

System Response

rate-based and detailed planning in the
<DS:GLOS.3526C38DAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>production version</> of the
material used in repetitive manufacturing can no longer be changed.
This is because such a change could lead to data inconsistency.

How to fix this error?

If you selected the Controlling level <ZH>BOM/Routing</> for material
&V1& when creating the product cost collector, you can terminate the
transaction and select Controlling level <ZH>Production Version</> when
you restart.
