Backflusing in REM with reporting points

Hello everybody,
I am making some tests with Backflushing in REM with optional reporting points and I have a doubt. This is the situation:
- Activities: In MFBF, I select "activity backflush" and the reporting point and everything is ok, the backflushing is done correctly.
- Components: In MFBF, I select" component backflush" or "assembly backflush" and the reporting point. If the operation in the routing has any component allocated, as the backflushing flag is marked, the goods issue is done automatically. No problem.
- Goods receipt: In MFBF, I select "assembly backflush" and the reporting point. The operation of the reporting point has defined in its control key that a goods receipt for the confirmation is automatically posted for the order. Although this, the goods receipt is not done automatically. If instead of this I do not indicate any reporting point, the goods receipt is done automatically.
I want to be able to make the goods receipt with reporting points, the same as the activities and the goods issues. Does anybody know if it is possible?
Thanks and regards
Laura

Hi Laura,
One question to you is when do we use this Reporting Point concept?
It is used where Production time is considerably long time and we need to monitor the inventory at certain stages.
In the routing, you have define with milestone confirmation, where ever you want to do the reporting point confirmation.
Say in a routing, you have defined 4 operations with RP. Say 0040, 0080, 0110 and final operation 0180.
You want to produce 40 quantiy.
First when you do the backflushing using MFBF, sysstem will take you to operation 0040 - first reporting point - you can confirm 40 or less than 40 quantities.
In second reporting point , you can confirm only quantity less than or equal to that confirmed in first reporting point.
You can see the stock at reporting point using same trasaction MFBF or MF25.
Hope you got it.

Srini

Kanban Replenishment Strategy with Reporting Points

I am trying to implement a SAP kanban system with repetitive manufacturing using reporting points. My problem is that when I change the status from empty to full I get error RM086 - GR with backflush not for reporting point logic with automatic GR option. I get this error regardless of control key (auto GR or not auto GR) setting on the routing. I reading SAP help on the subject; I see there is a page discussing replenishment strategy with reporting points which would infer that there should be a strategy with a similar name in configuration for replinishment strategies for in-house prodution. We are on ECC 6.0 and this option is not available in our system. What am I missing???

Hi,
As you are using In House production Replenishment Strategy , You must define Replenishment strategy for reporting points in Configuration as below:
SPRO->Production>KANBAN>Replenishment Strategies>Define In-house Production Strategies>Working With Reporting Points Replenishment strategy you need to define.
Then assigned this defined strategy in KANBAN Control Cycle in PKMC-->Replenishment Strategy->
Choose In-house Production Radio Button and in front of that select the above defined replenishment strategy to work with reporting points.
Hope this helps.

Reporting Point Backflush Error

Hi Friends,
I have a specific question. I am using a material in which Batch Mangement is active. Now when I use MF42N as collective backflush, I enter following data
Scene 1: Input Data in MF42N Screen
Plant
Posting Data & Document Date (Current Date)
Material
backflush Qty
Version
Reporting Point
When I enter this data System posts it without asking me Batch Number though Batch Management is active in Material Master.
Scene 2: Input Data in MF42N Screen
Plant
Posting Data & Document Date (Current Date)
Material
backflush Qty
Version
When I enter this data (No Reporting Point), then System gives me error as Enter Batch (Which is correct as Batch Management is Active in Material Master)
Please tell me why system is not giving error in Scene 1 where I am not entering Batch details.
Please let me know if you want any more details on this.

Dear Nilesh,
In this case I feel may be by debugging we may be able to identify why the system is allowing you to post the material along
with batch without mentioning the reporting point without error.
Logically it should look for both the objects like reporting point as well as batch number(provided if you have assigned a REM
profile with reporting point and activated the batch management for the product).Is the REM profile containing the reporting point
as mandatory or optional?

Resetting of reporting points

Dear Gurus,
I am facing problem in resetting of reporting points .
We have created product cost collector with production version but at that time REM allowed indicator is not ticked and control key is with out milestone confirmation
Transaction are done with reporting point 10 & reporting point 20 i have checked in table S028 & CEZP,CPZP all entries are available but in Tcode MF12 all entries are not available
we iam try set reporting points in MF4R The production version is not available for this i have ticked REM allowed indicator & Mile stone confirmation in control key it shows in MF4R But both the reporting points with O quantity.
As per S028 table my quantity differs in Reporting point 10 & 20
i have backflush some qty for reporting points 10 & 20 but it consider NEW QTY for resetting OLD QTY.
we have upgrade from 4.6 to 6.0 two years back.
we are using Period end closing process now.
i want to reset alI WIP of old PCC to REL Scrap by using MF4R.
I Have RE set all PCC by MF4R but this is my old PCC it creates me problem in restting
There is any way to reduce WIP to zero in old PCC Cost collectors with out resetting reporting points
Already we run report KKAO
I have checked all below notes
SAP Note 756186 - RM402 No reporting points when creating
production version - available
MFBF: Reporting point backflush
terminates with error RM111
Any program, Any note for to reset WIP TO zero

Reporting point confirmation

Dear PP Gurus,
We are using REM , The scherio is I have a finished product A for which there are 3 operations 10, 20 ,30 is required . In REM
using reporting point confirmation , I am confirming at each operation , for example the yield quantity is 5 for first operation . When it comes to operaion second lets say the yield quantity is 3 . and remaining 2 is rejected .
In system how can we track that 1 quantity is rejected againist that second operation.
Kindly Help.

REM Reporting Point line item with operation number 9999

Dear guru,
I run MFBF with a REM Profile that post Automatic GR and Activities.
I have four operation in the material routing (10,20,30,40)
For the first three operations I want to confirm them with target activities
I define Third Operation with operation number 30 as "Reporting Point Operation" and
set the necessary settings for Reporting Point at Rem Profile.
After the confirmation I check MF12 (display document log information).
I see two reporting point line item : one for operation number 30 and one for operation number 9999
The system update in table AFRU only operation 30.
So I donu2019t know the activities confirmed with operation 10 and 20.
Do you help me ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi dude:
Once I had this problem, and was due to a wrong definition of the parameters used in the formula for calculating the activities in to the operations.
You can chek it in the next path:
IMG route
Production > Basic Data > Work Center > Costing > Work Center Formulas > Define formula parameters for work centers & Define formulas for work centers
Make sure that these parameters are correctly linked to the formulas.
Please, let me know if this info was useful for you.

Reporting Point Backflush in REM

Dear all,
Consider the following scenario for RP backflushing in REM:
Total quantity produced on the line : 2 pc
There is one intermediate reporting point and one final reporting point.
REM profile 0004:Report. points with activities is being used.
Now, at the intermediate RP i confirmed 1 pc.
At the final RP the system allows me to confirm 2 pc with a warning.
How do i prevent this? I want the system to only allow as much quantity to be confirmed as has been confirmed at the previous RP.
Kindly advice.
Regards,
Sumeet

Dear Sumeet Vaidya,
Please give a try with this user exit XMRM0001.We used for a different
purpose during backflushing.
I'm not sure whether this user Exit works for this reason.
Please check with your ABAP consultant for more details.
Please check & confirm

GR with backflush not for reporting point logic with autom. GR option

Dear Experts,
While doing backflashing though MFBF we are getting following error
"GR with backflush not for reporting point logic with autom. GR option"
We have maintained 5 production version for this material while calling with first production version we are getting the error.
Rate routing & BOM maintanied for the FERT material
Thanks

Did you check the BackFlash option are actuvated in the following places ?
1. In the Rate routing, the backflush indicator is set in the component assignment.-CA22
2. In the material master record, the backflush indicator has the characteristic "Always backflush".-MRP3
3. In the material master record, the backflush indicator has the characteristic "Work center decides", the indicator being set in the work center.-CR21-Basic Data View .
4.Goto-MM02-MRP4 View -Select the PV-Goto Details -Check particularly this production version REM Allowed or not
5.You should use REM-Profile -0004/0003 where RP and Auto GR with RP at last Back Flashing Activated .
6.Check Rate Routing Operation Control Key -Auto GR with indicator Confirmation required

Reporting point in REM

Please explain the basis of the reporting point in REM.
And what's the advantage of using reporting points?
Thanks.

Dear Omar,
Reporting Point Backflush is used when working with Longer Lead Times.
Reporting point backflush
Controls whether you can carry out reporting point backfushes when backflushing in make-to-stock repetitive manufacturing.
Use
Using the reporting point backflush:
You can withdraw the components close to the operation for which they are required which is very useful when working with longer lead times.
You can calculate the number of incomplete products (work in process).
You can post scrap quantities directly at the appropriate operation.
You can carry out a reporting point backflush at every operation defined as a milestone in the routing. In the repetitive manufacturing profile, you can also decide whether you want to make the reporting point backflush mandatory or optional.
Dependencies
The reporting point backflush is carried out in the same way as the milestone confirmation.
For this in the REM Profile RP Backflush settings must be included.

REM - Reporting Point error during Backflushing

Hai PP Gurus,
            When i am backflushing in REM (MFBF), System shows following error..
    Error reading reporting point information
    Message no. RM111
           And then system suggests the following reasons...
   The repetitive manufacturing profile has been changed in the current session.
   You have not defined any milestone operations in the routing.
    When creating the product cost collector, no reporting points were created.
          But i checked all those things. But the system shows the same error.I could not found anything wrong what the system shows.What would be the reason beyond these.
        (Actually first system reads the RP correctly.After that i changed one of the UOM in the BOM component.That particular material is purchased with EA & issued by using Meters.So first i used EA & then chamged to M.For this i maintained unit of issue in material master for that material.Now i changed all those things that means Unit of issue & UOM for the BOM component.So the position comes like prevoius. But the system shows the above mentioned error...)
          Expecting your answers...
Thanks & Regards,
S.Ganeshraja

Dear Ganesh,
this is the help given by the SAP, while " Error reading reporting point information" is coming
Two alternative solutions are possible:
1.Assign a repetitive manufacturing profile with no reporting point procedure to the material in the material master record. or
2. Recreate the reporting points by recosting the product cost collector. To do this, the following prerequisites must be met:
In the material master record, in the production version, you must enter a routing under either detailed planning (first priority) or under rate-based planning (second priority).
Milestone operations must exist in this routing. The system ususally automatically creates the reporting points from these milestones when creating a product cost collector or when creating a production version.
To recoast the PCC Goto KKF6N -> select material Number -> select active production version -> select change icon-> select COST.
After getting message , use Goto option select dispaly cost estimate then select itemization from COST menu.
here u can, whwther the required operations have been selected or not.
then goto MFBF now you can do reporting backflush.
please try, if any error comes letus know..

Reporting Points in REM.

Hi PP Gurus,
Please throw some light on how to create Reporting Points in Repetitive Manufacturing? I know that those operation to be defined as Reporting points must contain Control Key with Milestone Confirmation. Please make some deatailed remarks on it.
Is In-process quality inspection possible in REM if Quality results are not influencing production process any how but are getting recorded just to maintain the records?
Please put your prompt comments on it.
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Hi Rajesha,
Thanks for your prompt and timely reply.
The Reporting Points in REM is quite clear to us. Now we're creating two Routings one is Rate Routing containing one operation with Control key PP01 and will be assigned in Production Line segment of Production Version of Material. Second one is Normal Routing containing all opearations with control key PP01 and PP99; PP99 for Reporting Points operations. Later Rate routing will be defined in Rate-based planning segment And Normal Routing in Detailed Planning segment of Production Version of material. Product Cost collector will be created by taking the same Production Version. We don't know what impact will it create on Costing? Whether it will consider Rate or Normal Routing?
Anyways, please tell me one thing, many operations are going on simultaneously with main products Production line for By-products and many Quality inspection are also involved into that. If we go for Reporting point in Normal Routing then is it neccessary to create lot manually and clear it OR assigning Inspection Required tick in Operation control key will serve the purpose?
Please put your prompt comments.
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Reporting points - REM

Hai PP Experts!!
I created reporting points in rate routing by assiging the control key with milestone confirmation.But in the MFBF screen during reporting point selection system shows error "reporting points are not maintained in PCC" . I also maintained suitable REM Profile (ie., i activated RP in the profile)
So pls throw some light on creation of reporting points, required customization and sequence of steps....
Advace thanks.............
Ganeshraja

Dear Mr.Ganesh raja,
Check in customizing-Control data for REM profile under control data 1,whether GI backflush at GR posting,if it's so deselect that and select RP backflush,then only the system allows you to use RP backflush.
You have to assign the same REM profile for the material which you want to use RP backflush.
And also in MFBF,plz include a tick mark in RP backflush field.
If useful reward points.

REM Reporting point confirmation- shiftwise

Hi All,
We have a requirement to use REM reporting point backflush for each shift. Presently confirmation is done in a non SAP system and transferred to SAP as Idocs for REM reporting point backflush.We need to configure this to do reporting point backflush shift wise in SAP. There were some suggestion in this forum to use user exit XMRM0001/ FM EXIT_SAPLBARM_001.
Can I know how this user exit can be used to popup for filling shift data? Our technical consultant had explored this user exit but they say it will validate/check header text but they are unable to create popup with this user exit as suggested in thread REM - Shiftwise Confirmation (Oct 1/2007). It will be helpful if some one can give more details from implementation or share the coding which will help us in adopting for our use.
My mail Id is [email protected] and [email protected]
Thanks & regards

Rajesha,
Thank you very much for the valuable information you gave.It was really helpful in solving the issue

What is reporting point in REM mfg ?

Hi PP expertise,
Can someone explain what is reporting point in routing/backflush ?
how to know the routing use reporting point ?
Thanks

Dear,
Reporting Point Backflush is used when working with Longer Lead Times.
Reporting point backflush
Controls whether you can carry out reporting point backfushes when backflushing in make-to-stock repetitive manufacturing.
Use
Using the reporting point backflush:
You can withdraw the components close to the operation for which they are required which is very useful when working with longer lead times.
You can calculate the number of incomplete products (work in process).
You can post scrap quantities directly at the appropriate operation.
You can carry out a reporting point backflush at every operation defined as a milestone in the routing. In the repetitive manufacturing profile, you can also decide whether you want to make the reporting point backflush mandatory or optional.
Dependencies
The reporting point backflush is carried out in the same way as the milestone confirmation.
Steps to be follw:-
1)You must assign a suitable repetitive manufacturing profile in the material master record to be able to backflush a material using either the mandatory or the optional reporting point backflush function.
2)You must set the optional or the mandatory reporting point backflush in the repetitive manufacturing profile.
3)This type of backflushing corresponds to the milestone confirmation in make-to-order production. Therefore, in the routing, you must select a control key which has indicator 1 (= milestone confirmation) in the confirmation field.
4)You must enter the routing in the production version of the material. The system first looks for the routing entered in the detailed planning section. If no entry exists here, the system then uses the routing from the rate-based planning section.
5)You must carry out a version-specific or a standard cost estimate.
6.You are recommended to use the version-specific cost estimate which can be carried out in shorter intervals than the standard cost estimate.
7In MFBF screen you can flag the "RP Backflush " check box which means reporting point backflush and enter the Reporting point that is the operation #.
Hope clear to you.

R.Brahmankar
