  Production versions .......................: &
  
  1. Cause
  
  The warning message W4327 typically appears during the creation or processing of production orders or sales orders when the system cannot find a suitable production version for the material in question.
  The message lists the production versions that are relevant or found, but it indicates that none of them fully meet the requirements for the current order or process.
  This situation often arises when:
  
  No production version is maintained for the material in the plant.
  The existing production versions do not match the order parameters (e.g., validity dates, BOM, routing, or other selection criteria).
  The system cannot determine which production version to use because multiple versions exist but none fit the criteria.
  
  
  
  
  2. Solution
  
  
  Check Production Versions:
  
  Go to transaction C223 (Maintain Production Versions) or use the material master (MM02) to verify if production versions exist for the material and plant.
  Ensure that at least one production version is maintained and valid for the order date.
  
  
  
  Validate Validity Dates:
  
  Production versions have validity start and end dates. Make sure the order date falls within these dates.
  
  
  
  Check BOM and Routing:
  
  Production versions link to specific BOMs and routings. Verify that these are correctly maintained and active.
  
  
  
  Assign Production Version:
  
  If multiple production versions exist, ensure that the system can determine the correct one based on the order parameters.
  You may need to adjust the selection criteria or manually assign a production version in the order.
  
  
  
  Update Master Data:
  
  If no production version exists, create one with the correct BOM and routing for the material and plant.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  In some cases, the system configuration for production version determination might need review, especially if custom logic or user exits are involved.

  Common Scenarios:
  
  When using variant configuration or configurable materials, production versions must be carefully maintained.
  If the system uses multiple BOMs or routings, production versions help select the correct combination.
