  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_UPGRADE022 indicates that there is no suitable production version of a configurable material (KMAT) for a specific variant in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when the system is unable to find a valid production version that matches the characteristics of the variant being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Production Version: The most common cause is that the production version for the KMAT does not exist or is not correctly defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the KMAT may not align with the variant being processed, leading to a mismatch.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data, such as missing or incorrect entries in the material master or production version data.
  Variant Configuration: The variant configuration might not be set up correctly, leading to the inability to find a suitable production version.
