A production version is a combination of a BOM and a routing that defines how a material is produced. For a production version to be valid and consistent, the following requirements must be fulfilled:

The deletion flag must NOT be set for the BOM or the routing. The deletion flag indicates that the BOM or the routing is no longer used and should be archived. If the deletion flag is set, the production version cannot be used for production planning or execution.

The lot size range must be within the lot size range of the assigned routing. The lot size range specifies the minimum and maximum order quantity for which the production version is valid. The lot size range of the production version must match or be smaller than the lot size range of the routing, otherwise the system will not find a suitable routing for the production order.

The assigned routing and BOM must be valid in the entire validity period. The validity period defines the time frame for which the production version is valid. The validity period of the production version must be within or equal to the validity periods of the routing and the BOM, otherwise the system will not find a consistent BOM and routing combination for the production order. References: [SAP S/4HANA Production Planning and Manufacturing Certification Guide], page 113; [SAP Help Portal: Production Version].

The tabular planning table for capacity planning provides two chart types: the capacity requirements chart and the work center capacities chart. The capacity requirements chart displays the capacity requirements for one or more orders, grouped by order, operation, or work center. The work center capacities chart displays the available capacity and the capacity requirements for one or more work centers, grouped by work center, capacity category, or shift sequence. You can switch between these chart types using the menu options Settings -> Chart type. References: Planning Table (tabular form), Capacity planning table

Collective orders are used to represent multilevel production structures for materials produced in-house, where the manufacturing order for the highest material in the structure automatically generates manufacturing orders for the semifinished products in the structure. This allows for an integrated view of the production process and avoids unnecessary placements in storage or removals from storage between production levels. Collective orders can consist of planned orders, production orders, or process orders, and each order has its own order number. Collective orders can be processed with or without automatic goods movements, depending on the business scenario. References: Collective Orders | SAP Help Portal, Collective Order | SAP Help Portal, Combined production order Vs Collective production order in SAP PP

If the available stock is zero and the discontinuation date is in the past, the material requirements planning (MRP) process will be affected. MRP will not create any planned orders or purchase requisitions for the discontinued component. Instead, it will create a discontinuation indicator in the MRP list and a discontinuation message in the exception message list. This will inform the planner that the component is no longer available and that a follow-up material should be used instead. References: [SAP Help Portal] - Discontinuation of Materials.
