Atul,
"MRP run" does not normally create production orders, MRP creates Planned orders.  Planned orders do not contain Sales order version.   I have never used this field before, but I would not be surprised if the behavior you are describing is 'standard'.  When you create a production order using CO08, you are creating a 'production order with reference to a Sales order' (which contains Sales Version).  When you create a production order using, say, CO40 or CO41, or using a program such as PPBICO40 in Batch, you are creating a 'production order with reference to a Planned order', (which does not contain version).
If it is imperative that you have the Sales Order version number in all production orders, you could see if Planning Strategy 82 (Assemble to order) production orders contain the data you seek.  Otherwise, I am afraid you will have to have your ABAPers write some custom code to update this field in the production order.
Another way to get sales order data into the production order, that does NOT require custom code, is by using Item Texts in the Sales order.  Any text placed in the Sales Order Item Text Field Production Memo (Text ID 0006) can be configured to be duplicated automatically in the Production order in an MTO environment.  Production Memo then displays as another Tab in CO02.
