• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C2144 - Specify production version ?

  The SAP error message C2144, "Specify production version," typically occurs in the context of production planning and material management when the system requires a production version for a material but none has been specified. This error is often encountered during processes such as creating production orders, running MRP (Material Requirements Planning), or when trying to perform certain transactions related to production.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Production Version: The most common cause of this error is that the material in question does not have a production version defined in the system.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may not be properly maintained, leading to the absence of a production version.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the production planning settings that prevent the system from recognizing the production version.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Production Version:
  
  Go to the transaction code C202 (or navigate through the menu: Logistics > Production > Master Data > Production Version > Maintain).
  Enter the material number and plant for which you want to create a production version.
  Define the production version by specifying the relevant details such as the routing and bill of materials (BOM) associated with the material.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Use transaction code MM03 to display the material master data.
  Ensure that the production version is maintained in the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, MRP, Work Scheduling).
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the production planning module to ensure that the production version functionality is correctly set up.
  You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team or refer to SAP documentation for specific configuration steps.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Production Versions:
  
  If multiple production versions exist, ensure that the correct one is being selected during the transaction that triggered the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
