  The SAP error message MPE_PLAN_PV047 ("Enter BOM version") typically occurs in the context of production planning or material requirements planning (MRP) when the system requires a Bill of Materials (BOM) version to be specified, but it has not been provided.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BOM Version: The most common cause of this error is that the BOM version is not specified in the transaction or process you are trying to execute. In SAP, BOMs can have multiple versions, and the system needs to know which version to use for planning or production purposes.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that require a BOM version to be specified for certain operations.
  Data Entry Error: Users may forget to enter the BOM version when creating or modifying a production order, MRP run, or similar processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Specify BOM Version: When prompted with this error, ensure that you enter the appropriate BOM version in the relevant field. This can usually be done in the transaction where the error occurs (e.g., creating a production order, MRP run, etc.).
  Check BOM Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system to determine if BOM versioning is mandatory for the specific process you are working with. If it is, ensure that users are trained to enter this information.
  Review BOM Master Data: Check the BOM master data to ensure that the required BOM versions are created and active. You can do this using transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM) or CS02 (Change BOM).
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about which BOM version to use, consult your organization's documentation or speak with a colleague who is familiar with the specific BOMs and their versions.
  
  Related Information:
