You want to overwrite your DEV version with the older PROD version? If the FM is your own, then you can simply use version management to bring back the old version.

( From SE37, menu Utilities->Versions->Version Management )

Otherwise there's nothing technically to stop you, excepting authorisations, creating a transport in P, and taking it into D.

Be aware that a function module is part of a function group program. You may have to recover the entire function group.

If it is a standard SAP function module, then the answer is simple. Don't do it.

If you mean you want to copy from DEV to PROD, if the FM is heavily used, do a transport when the customers are asleep.

Hi

you need to create a new vertion in the older FM it self and transport it to the PRODUCTION

then next time onwords the new vertion will execute there in PRODUCTION also

so just do the new vertion in the older FM

Hi,

Please try to retrieve the older version function module program in DEV which is same as the older version in PROD via version management. I hope nobody created directly in PROD, otherwise, you may have to download from PROD and uplaod to DEV or cut and paste the codes.

Once retrieved, you can either save to new FM or overwrite the current version with the older version. Then later on you can transport to QA and PROD to syncronize the version.
