Read Master Data on Process Order

Question

Hi there,
We have a process order in status CRTD PRC  APNG APRS BCRQ MANC SETC.  But when user try to initiate a Read Master Data for Prod Version / Master Recipe / BOM, system is giving this error log:
No approval: production version 0001 has not been approved
Unreleased engineering change orders:
Engineering change order 500000000001 has not been released
I have checked on the Change Number for both the Master Recipe and Bill of Material and everything seems to be correct.  Why does SAP prompting "No approval: production version 0001 has not been approved" and why is SAP trying to read Engineering Change Order 500000000001?  This is an old one possibly the first Engineering Change Order generated...
Cheers

Dear,
As per GMP Steps are as,
The procedure in the environment requiring an approval is the following:
-> Create
1. Create new production version, without specifying recipes and bill of material.
2. Assign a change number which is valid for the recipe and the bill of material to be entered to the production version.
3. Enter recipe and bill of material in the production version or if external number assignment of the recipe is required, make no entry in the recipe group.
4. Navigate to the recipe, for example, by double-clicking on the Recipe field.
5. Maintain the recipe and the material list (bill of material) within the recipe as usual.
6. Save the recipe and, therefore, also the bill of material. (Return to the production version transaction. )
7. Save the production version.
-> Change
1. Assign a change number which is valid for the recipe and the bill of material entered or to be entered to the existing production version.
2. Navigate to the recipe and further processing as described under -> Create.
After the release of the change request, all three objects production version, recipe and bill of material are approved providing a change rule which prescribes an approval procedure was defined in the recipe header.
You need a suitable change request for defining the change rule. Providing you use the integrated maintenance via the production version as recommended, proceed as described above and assign the suitable change request to the production version.
If you want to ensure furthermore that no recipes are created without change request, use a profile set correspondingly in Customizing for the creation of recipes.
Hope clear to you. For details refer the Note  154360 - Maintain prod.vrsns+recpes i.env.requirng an apprvl
