Production version in MRP4



­­­­­
Production version in SAP is a master data which is defined for a material. (MM02-->MRP 4 View) Production versions can be created in MRP4 view of the material master. Multiple production versions can be defined for one material.
Production version is a basically a combination of routing data and BOM. When a single material is having multiple routings and alternative BOMs, production version is important to make a combination of desired routing and desired alternative BOM which is to be used for the production. 


Apart from the routing and BOM data, validity period issue storage location and receiving storage location can be included in a production version.
Advantage of having a production version is someone can choose the production version rather than selecting routings and BOM alternatives manually. Production version is the only option (most probablyJ ) to select an alternative BOM in production order creation.
Version indication will come automatically once version is created.
