  The SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_MKAL_API113 indicates that the Production Version ID is required but is currently empty when trying to create or update a material in the Master Data Governance (MDG) system. This error typically occurs in the context of material master data management, particularly when dealing with production versions in the Material Master.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Production Version: The most common cause of this error is that the production version field is not populated in the relevant data entry screen or API call.

  Solution:
  
  Check Input Data: Ensure that the production version ID is being provided in the data entry form or API call. If you are using a custom program or interface, verify that the production version is included in the data being sent to the MDG system.
  Review Material Master Data: If you are creating or updating a material, check the material master data to ensure that a valid production version is assigned. You can do this by navigating to the material master transaction (MM01/MM02) and checking the relevant views.
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the MDG system to ensure that the production version is not set as a mandatory field for the material type you are working with. This can be done in the MDG customizing settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on how to handle production versions in your version of SAP MDG.
