Editing Production Versions (SAP Library - Production Planning

Editing Production Versions

Use

You use this procedure to create a worklist for production version editing. Depending on your requirements, you make the required changes in mass processing or individual processing, this means, on the table-like overview of the worklist or on the detail screen of a specific production version. If a master recipe has been assigned to your production versions as the detailed plan, you can navigate to the recipe from mass processing to edit the recipe or bill of material (see Editing Recipes from Production Versions).

You can use this function to edit individual production versions. Note, however, the restrictions described in the corresponding sections.

Prerequisites

The material for which you want to edit production versions has been created in your plant.

Procedure

Choose Logistics ® Production - Process ® Master Data ® Production Versions.
Enter selection criteria for worklist creation in the upper screen area.

If you need more selection criteria, choose to branch to the selection screen, enter the criteria, and choose .

The icon is displayed in a different color to indicate that additional selection criteria have been entered.

Choose .

The system creates a worklist with the production versions that match your selection criteria and displays them in a table-like overview.

As a rule, production versions are ready for input. The icon indicates exceptions that are not ready for input in the overview. This may be due to the following reasons, for example:

You are not authorized to change the production version.

A change rule has been defined for the recipe to which the production version is assigned. For this reason, you must first assign a suitable change number to the production version (see Editing Production Versions Requiring Approval).

If required, evaluate the selection log.

Depending on the function you want to carry out, proceed as follows:

Function	Edit on	Procedure
Lock	Overview	Choose the corresponding entry in the Lock field.
Lock	Detail screen	Double-click a production version to branch to the detail screen and choose the corresponding entry in the Production version group box in the Lock field.
Delete	Overview	Select the production version you want to delete and choose .

The system displays the following icon in the Processing status column on the overview screen of the worklist for edited production versions:

for production versions you have just created or copied
for production versions whose data you have changed

These icons indicate that changes have been made but not saved. The production versions are locked for other users.

Choose .

The system saves the edited production versions and unlocks them. It deletes the icons in the Processing status column.

If several users access the same data, another user may be changing a production version after you have created your worklist. If you make changes to the same production version, the system will not let you save them.

For this reason, we recommend reading the data from the database again every time you save. Choose to do so.
