In SAP PP, a production version maps BOM with routing.

A production version is created for a material, from the MRP 4 view of the material master.

There can be multiple production versions for a material.

A validity period must specified when creating a production version for a material.

Alternative BOM, BOM usage and routing group number are all specified in the “details” section of a production version.

How to create a production version

For mass processing use TC C223.

Otherwise, use TC MM02 to access relevant material master; then:

• go to MRP 4 view
• click the “ProdVersions” button
• create new entry, i.e. new production version
• when asked to populate production version details, remember to specify
  • relevant lot size range
  • relevant validity periode
  • routing group number
  • relevant routing group counter for precise routing identification
  • correct alternative BOM and BOM usage
  • click “Check” button to verify that specified BOM and routing actually exist
