• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM021 - No production versions could be found for selection ?

  The SAP error message RM021 ("No production versions could be found for selection") typically occurs in the context of production planning and control when the system is unable to find a valid production version for a material in a specific plant or for a specific configuration. This can happen during various processes, such as creating production orders, running MRP (Material Requirements Planning), or when trying to create a planned order.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Production Versions: The most common cause is that the material does not have any production versions defined in the system.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may not be set up correctly, or the production version may not be assigned to the correct plant.
  Plant-Specific Issues: The production version may exist, but it is not assigned to the plant you are working with.
  Status of the Material: The material may be in a status that does not allow for production (e.g., it may be marked as obsolete).
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration settings in the production planning module.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Production Versions:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check if production versions are defined for the material in the relevant plant.
  If no production versions exist, you will need to create them using transaction code C223 (Create Production Version).
  
  
  
  Create or Update Production Versions:
  
  If production versions are missing, create new ones by specifying the relevant data such as the routing and bill of materials (BOM).
  Ensure that the production version is correctly assigned to the relevant plant.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the material is active and not marked as obsolete.
  Check the views in the material master to ensure all necessary data is filled out correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Plant Assignment:
  
  Verify that the production version is assigned to the correct plant. If you are working in a different plant, you may need to create a new production version for that plant.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings:
  
  If you suspect configuration issues, consult with your SAP PP (Production Planning) consultant to review the settings related to production versions and material planning.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like C223 (Create Production Version) and C224 (Change Production Version) to manage production versions effectively.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Production Version: A production version is a combination of a routing and a bill of material (BOM) that defines how a product is manufactured.
  Material Master: The material master contains all the information related to a material, including its production versions, which are essential for production planning.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM03 (Display Material), C223 (Create Production Version), and C224 (Change Production Version) for managing production versions.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
