• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_MRP213 - Production versions for BOM explosion not supported in MRP Live on HANA ?

  The SAP error message PPH_MRP213 indicates that production versions for Bill of Materials (BOM) explosion are not supported in MRP Live when using SAP HANA. This error typically arises during the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process when the system attempts to explode a BOM that is configured with production versions.
  Cause:
  
  Production Versions: The error occurs because MRP Live does not support the use of production versions for BOM explosion. In traditional MRP, production versions can be used to determine which BOM to use based on the production version assigned to a material. However, MRP Live has certain limitations regarding this feature.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are not aligned with the requirements for MRP Live processing.
  Material Master Settings: The material master data may not be set up correctly, particularly in relation to the BOM and production versions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Classic MRP: If production versions are essential for your BOM explosion, consider running the classic MRP (transaction MD01) instead of MRP Live (transaction MD02). This will allow the system to process BOMs with production versions.
  Adjust BOM Configuration: If possible, adjust the BOM configuration to not rely on production versions. This may involve creating a single BOM without production versions or using alternative methods for BOM determination.
  Check Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly configured. Verify that the BOMs are correctly assigned and that there are no inconsistencies in the production version settings.
  SAP Notes and Support: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue. SAP frequently releases updates and patches that may resolve known issues or provide additional functionality.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for MRP Live to understand its limitations and best practices. This can provide insights into how to structure your BOMs and production processes to avoid such errors.
  
  Related Information:
  
  MRP Live: MRP Live is designed to leverage the capabilities of SAP HANA for faster processing of MRP runs. However, it has certain limitations compared to the classic MRP.
  BOM and Production Versions: Understanding how BOMs and production versions work in SAP is crucial. Production versions allow for different manufacturing processes or recipes for the same material, which can complicate MRP calculations.
  SAP Community and Forums: Engaging with the SAP Community or forums can provide additional insights and solutions from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support for further assistance.
