• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M3631 - Choose a production version ?

  The SAP error message M3631, "Choose a production version," typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution when the system requires a specific production version for a material but none has been selected or available. This error is common in scenarios involving production orders, where the system needs to determine how to produce a particular material based on its production versions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Production Version: The material does not have a production version defined in the system.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master may not be set up correctly, or the production versions may not be assigned to the relevant plant or storage location.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria for production versions may not be met, leading to the system not being able to find a suitable version.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the production planning settings that prevent the system from identifying the correct production version.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master: 
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check if the production versions are defined for the material in the relevant plant.
  Ensure that the production versions are correctly assigned and active.
  
  
  
  Define Production Versions:
  
  If no production versions exist, you can create them using transaction code C223 (for creating production versions) or through the material master data.
  Ensure that the production versions are linked to the correct BOM (Bill of Materials) and routing.
  
  
  
  Review Production Order:
  
  If you are creating a production order, ensure that you are selecting the correct material and that the order type is appropriate for the production version you want to use.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the production planning module to ensure that everything is set up correctly for production version selection.
  Check if the production version selection strategy is correctly defined in the system.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Selection:
  
  If applicable, you can also try to use alternative selection criteria or manually select a production version if the system allows it.
