  The SAP error message QM057 ("Production version is only uniquely identified with material and plant") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to create or manage a production version that is not uniquely identified by both the material and the plant. This error indicates that the system cannot find a unique production version for the specified material in the given plant.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Unique Production Version: The production version you are trying to use is not uniquely defined for the combination of material and plant. This can happen if there are multiple production versions for the same material in the same plant.
