  The SAP error message PPEDI_EXPL007 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create production versions in a specific plant. This error typically arises in the context of the Production Planning (PP) module when a user attempts to create or modify production versions but lacks the required permissions.

  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:

  Authorization Objects:

  Adding the user to a role that has the necessary authorizations.
  Modifying an existing role to include the required permissions.
  
  
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to create the production version again.
