• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM356 - No production versions could be found for selection ?

  The SAP error message RM356 ("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 that is being processed. This can happen in various transactions, such as when creating a production order or during the planning process.
  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 relevant views (like MRP or Work Scheduling) may not be maintained.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the transaction may not match any existing production versions.
  Plant or Storage Location Issues: The production versions may be defined for a different plant or storage location than the one being used in the transaction.
  Status of the Material: The material may be inactive or not available for production.
  
  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 not, you may need to create a production version using transaction code C223.
  
  
  
  Maintain Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the material master data is complete and correct. Check the MRP and Work Scheduling views to ensure all necessary fields are filled out.
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  Verify the selection criteria you are using in the transaction. Make sure they align with the production versions available for the material.
  
  
  
  Check Plant and Storage Location:
  
  Ensure that you are working with the correct plant and storage location. Production versions are plant-specific, so they must match.
  
  
  
  Activate Material:
  
  If the material is inactive, you may need to activate it or ensure it is set up for production.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that may be affecting the availability of production versions.
