Note
Be aware of the following: in comparison to SAP ERP, in SAP S/4HANA, a production order needs a production version, so you MUST define a production version inside your material MRP data.The figure, Production Versions, illustrates an example in which a product is manufactured using two sets of technologies and methods. This necessitates different routings and BOMs.
Version 0001 produces brackets for large order lots on a numerically controlled (NC) punching machine. The bracket is punched whole from a metal sheet. As it takes longer to set up an NC punching machine than the actual time it takes to complete the punching operation, version 0002 is used to produce small quantities of brackets with another manufacturing process that requires strips of metal.
The appropriate alternative is selected using the production version in the material master. The production version determines the manufacturing process according to the routing and the specified BOM.
You can store multiple production versions for different lot size intervals in the material master. The group counter values differentiate the individual routings.
