Deleting the Production Version 
Use
The production version contains the technical information on how a material can be manufactured. If this technical method has become outdated, you can delete the production version.
Prerequisites
You must settle the product cost collector you created for the production version.
No more planned orders exist in the system which are assigned to this production version.
If you work with reporting points in make-to-stock REM, no more work in process (WIP) exists on the production line in question. That is, work in process must be closed in the period-end closing in Cost Object Controlling.
If an inspection lot exists, you must already have made the usage decision for the inspection lot.
- For the period in which the last reporting point backflush was carried out and for all previous periods in which the run schedule header or the production version is valid.
- the cutoff period is set for the WIP calculation
- the cutoff period is set for the variance calculation (operation KVAR)
Procedure
From the MRP views in the material master record, choose Prod.versions.
The Production Version Overview dialog box appears.
Select the production version and choose Delete.
Choose Continue and save the material master record.
Result
When deleting the production version (or a run schedule header) the reporting point information is also deleted.
