• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NJIT_MSG172 - Production Version &1 validity is in the past for &2 ?

  The SAP error message NJIT_MSG172 indicates that the production version specified is no longer valid because its validity period has expired. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or process a production order, and the production version you are referencing has a validity date that is in the past.
  Cause:
  
  Expired Validity Period: The production version has a defined validity period, and the current date is beyond the end date of that period.
  Incorrect Production Version: The production version being referenced may not be the correct one for the material or may not be active.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data setup for the material or production version.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Validity Dates:
  
  Go to the production version in the material master (transaction code MM02).
  Check the validity dates of the production version. If the end date is in the past, you will need to either extend the validity period or create a new production version.

  Alternatively, if you have the necessary permissions, you can update the existing production version to extend its validity.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Production Version:
  
  If there are other valid production versions available for the material, consider using one of those instead.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the material master data is correctly set up and that the production version is assigned to the correct material.
  
  
  
  Consult with a SAP Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP administrator or the person responsible for maintaining the material master data.
