Automatic Production Version Selection

[Former Member]

Dear All,

There are two production versions 0001 and 0002 for a finished material. When I create production order from planned order it automatically selects version 0001. If I want it to select version 0002 automatically what should I do?

Hy Hammad,

System select the production version automatically which is most nearest to the Order qty. If the all the criteria like Lot size , Validity are same for both producion version then you can do following settings for the your requirement.

1)Use quata arrangement (T. Code MEQ1) here you can define the which producion version has been used up to define time period and Qty.

2) In such kind of the situation where there is more than producion version are available with the same lot sizing limit, system select the Production version which comes first according to the Alphanumeric.I think you can take advantage of this function by aplying the logical nomanclature to the production versions.

Dear Dhaval,

So I have to inter change the name of versions so that 0001 will become 0002. Then it will get the first version.

Hy,

You can not change the name of producion version ones it is saved.My intention is, in futur Set the nomenclature of producion version in such a way that by default system select the most used production version first.

Now come to the current situation you can solve by following way,

1)if name change doesn't possible ,change the assigned BOM and Recipe/Routing to it.

or

2) As our other expert has suggest ,change the selection of prodction version from auto to manual selction(Transection code COR4 or OPL8).
