How to Create Production

version in SAP PP:


The production version is the link between a product BOM (Bill of
Material) and the process Routing. It determines which alternative
BOM is used together with which routing to produce a material or
plan a material.

There may be different production versions based on the lot sizes


and validity dates.

For example, there may be different versions if you want to


produce 1 – 100 liter of paint than 100 – 1000 liter of paint, as
such the different composition of BOM may be required in both
cases.

 It comprises of the following data:

1. The assignment of routings to the production version

2. The assignment of the alternative BOM to the production


version

 Production versions are used in material requirements


planning (MRP), production order creation, and product
costing to select the most suitable routing and the
corresponding bill of material.

In order to create production version, perform the following steps-

be created.

3. Enter Material code.

the production version.
