• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/AL_GSS_R2MR_SU062 - Production version is mandatory to create the synchronization unit ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/AL_GSS_R2MR_SU062 indicates that a production version is mandatory for creating a synchronization unit in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or manage synchronization units without specifying a required production version.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system requires a production version to be defined for the material you are working with. A production version in SAP is a key element that links a material to its manufacturing process, including details like the bill of materials (BOM) and routing. If the production version is not specified or does not exist for the material, the system cannot proceed with the creation of the synchronization unit.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the relevant material (transaction code MM03).
  Ensure that a production version is defined for the material in the relevant plant.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Production Version:
  
  If a production version does not exist, you can create one using transaction code C202 (or C223 for mass changes).
  Ensure that the production version is correctly linked to the appropriate BOM and routing.
  
  
  
  Verify Synchronization Unit Settings:
  
  Check the settings for the synchronization unit you are trying to create. Ensure that all required fields, including the production version, are filled out correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to production versions and synchronization units for additional context and requirements.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify production versions and synchronization units.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Production Version: A production version is a combination of a BOM and a routing that defines how a product is manufactured.
  Synchronization Unit: In the context of SAP APO, synchronization units are used to manage the synchronization of data between different systems or modules.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  MM03: Display Material Master
  C202: Create Production Version
  C223: Change Production Version
  
  
  
  By ensuring that a valid production version is associated with the material, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully create the synchronization unit.
