What must you do in the system for a production version to be automatically selected from a planned order?

For a production version to be automatically selected from a planned order, it is essential to have the customizing setting for Automatic Selection of Production Version activated. This setting allows the system to select the most appropriate production version based on predefined criteria without requiring manual intervention.

When this automatic selection is set, the system utilizes various factors such as validity dates, the status of the production order, and specific production characteristics to select the right version automatically. This streamlines the production process, reduces manual effort, and enhances efficiency by ensuring that the most relevant production version is utilized based on current data.

The other options do not facilitate automatic selection. For example, changing the production version assignment or manually selecting it does not lay the groundwork for an automated approach, and having multiple production versions with valid dates is more about ensuring that options exist rather than automating the selection process itself. Therefore, activating the automatic selection setting is critical for achieving seamless production planning.
