  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/FOT803 No production version exists for product &2 typically occurs in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module when the system is unable to find a valid production version for a specified product. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during planning, production order creation, or when trying to execute a specific function that requires a production version.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Production Version: The most common cause is that the product in question does not have a production version defined in the system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Production Version:
