For a production version to be considered valid, which requirement must be fulfilled?

To determine the validity of a production version in ERP systems, it is crucial that the deletion flag is not set for both the Bill of Materials (BOM) and the routing. This requirement ensures that the production version references active and usable components, preventing any disruptions in the manufacturing process. If either the BOM or the routing has a deletion flag set, it indicates that they are no longer valid for production, thereby invalidating the entire production version.

By ensuring that both the BOM and routing are not flagged for deletion, the production version can effectively guide the production process with the available and approved components and procedures. This establishes a reliable foundation for planning and executing production operations, which is essential for efficient manufacturing and resource management.
