How To Fix MD112 - Version & must be allocated to the scenario first

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MD - Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

• Message number: 112

• Message text: Version & must be allocated to the scenario first

What causes this issue?

A version, that is to be replaced must first be allocated to the
scenario. You make the allocation of the versions to the planning
scenario in the field entitled, <LS>Version</>.

System Response

The replacing versions function is used to control the priorities of
the versions - if several versions are used in long-term planning. This
means that for some materials, for example, only one version is
maintained, for others a second is maintained. In this case, you can
determine that if both versions have been maintained for a material
one of the versions is replaced. However, to do this, you must first
allocate all versions that are to be used to the scenario each in
a separate line.

How to fix this error?

Please allocate version &V2& to the planning screnario in the column
entitled <LS>Version</>.
