How To Fix RM872 - Production version & for material & is blocked due to internal conversion

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RM - Messages for Repetitive Manufacturing

• Message number: 872

• Message text: Production version & for material & is blocked due to internal conversion

What causes this issue?

No product cost collector with the naming rule "not specified" has been
maintained for the material entered. Postprocessing records existed for
this material before the system was converted from a release
< 45a to a release > 45a.
The first time this material is backflushed, a one-off internal
conversion of the postprocessing records takes place. Postprocessing
records are no longer written per run schedule header, but per product
cost collector. In each run schedule header for this product cost
collector, a one-off internal conversion must take place. For this,
blocks are set on the corresponding production versions.

System Response

A production version, for which a conversion must take place, has
already been blocked.

How to fix this error?

Try to execute the backflush once more. Ensure that none of the
versions for this material are blocked.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
