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.

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,

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

Reporting point backfluch

Hello everybody
What is reporting point backflush. I know how to do REM backfluch. What is the use of reporting oint backflush. I sthere any settings for the same.
Please help me out in this

Dear
Find the answer of your question :
What is reporting point backflush
The reporting point BF provides you with a statistical overview of all the reporting points of a production version. In this list, the system displays the quantities that have passed through each reporting point, but that have not yet been backflushed. It displays this information for every production version for which reporting points exist. No goods receipt has yet been posted for these quantities.
To access the reporting point overview, select Go to (MF26) Or,Evaluations----> Reporting points from the main menu of repetitive manufacturing .
What is the use of reporting oint backflush
1.You use this function for make-to-stock REM for backflushing unfinished materials (work in process) at predefined operations.
2.You use the reporting point backflush in the following situations:
1.To calculate the quantity of semi-finished products in the production process.
2.To post the goods issues of components closer to the actual withdrawal of the components when working with lengthy lead times. If you want to backflush scrap quantities at the corresponding operation
3.In REM process, Auto Goods issue for components is controlled by Rem profile only, which has been assinged for Header material. if rem profile allows GI , components will be issued irrespective of RP or w/o RP settings & BF settings .
RP BF settings
1.Define REM Profile where RP BF will be activated -SPRO-Production-REM -Define REM Profile-Select Profile -Activate RP as mandatory in Control data 1 tab .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.
Hope this clears your doubt

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 - 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.

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

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]

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

REM - Total Qty in each Reporting Points

Hai PP Gurus,
Actually i have 5 RP (Operations) for one FG.In Bacflushing i confirmed 2 RP. Like that i confirmed 25 Planned Ord. Now i want to check how many quantities are waiting for third operation(3rd RP) that means i want to check the total qty for waiting the next operation in each RP.
Pls throw some light on this......
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Ganesh,
Have u tried T.code MCRM. Inside the report u can see reporting point status by Drilldown option for selection.
please check and reward if it is usefull

The reporting point backflush is not possible for make-to-stock repetitive

Hi All,
we are using the assembly backflush in the MTS REM process. we are need to do the reporting point backflush
if we tick against the RP backflush. what will be the effect in the process while confirmation.
i read the sap library . it say like
The reporting point backflush is not possible for make-to-stock repetitive manufacturing.
is it correct.
Thanks
VRaj

Hi mangal,
i did all the setting as you said. but when click on the reporting point.
system thru error
Error reading reporting point information
Message no. RM111
Diagnosis
The repetitive manufacturing profile is set for the reporting point procedure. However, either no reporting points exist for the material or they are incorrect. Two common reasons for this are:
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.
Procedure
Two alternative solutions are possible:
Assign a repetitive manufacturing profile with no reporting point procedure to the material in the material master record.
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.
how to create the REPORTING POINT

Reporting Point BackFlush

Gurus,
Pl. Let me know, where to insert Reporting Points in the Product Cost Collectors?.
I have got a message that, either i should indicate reporting point in the routing or in the product cost collectors. (Routing i belive it is milestone control Key...).
Exact messge what i got is " Recreate the report points by recosting the product cost collector ....."
Regards,
K.Kumar.

Dear Kumaran,
Regarding reporting point backflush, you have to make RP backflush mandatory in REM Profile and also
for automatic GR posting at last RP when back flushing.
And also whatever the control key thatu2019s used in the rate routing must be having the setting for
milestone confirmation,Say suppose if you are using PP01 control key for 3 operations in the rate
routing, then in T code OP67 for control key PP01 set value 1 for operation.
Assign this REM profile in the material master.
In MFBF,after entering the quantity,material,plant,select the check box for RP backflush and now enter
the first operation say 0010 and post ,at this point only activities and components gets posted.
Next you have to confirm operation 0020 and then while doing for 0030 GR and activities will get posted.
You can use MF26 for reporting point overview.
As far I know there's no relation between reporting points and product Cost collector.
Check and revert back.

Reporting point backflush and milestone confirmation

hello pp experts,
if we have the option of milestone confirmation then why do we use reporting point backflush, actually what's the difference between them?

Dear,
If u do confirmation without RP it is like order level confirmation co15 in discrt all teh opeation is confirmed at once.Here u canot use operation wise.
So in REM we use MFBF reporting point back flush like CO11n which carried out on operation basis as milestone operation is confirm previous also get confirm.
To see the RP overview after confiramtion at each RP u can use MF26, this will give WIP qty to be conformed at each reporting point.
Hope clear to you.

Reporting-Point Backflushing

Hi experts,
Could anyone please let me know that in case of reporting point backflushing how i can set reporting points
What are the diff. reporting point types?
What are the mandatory config. settings required for that?
thnx in advnce

Dear Madhur Nigam,
Reporting Point backflush:
1.Individual operations which are having the control key for the milestone confirmation will be confirmed in MFBF.Check in OP67
the control key is having the value 1 for confirmation.
2.In the REM profile,in OSP2 check box for RP backflush must be included and automatic GR posting at last RP when
backflushing.So the operation's GI and activities will get posted in MFBF and during last operation confirmation only GR happens.
3.This reporting point backflush will be applicable for make to stock production and not to make to order production.
4.This will be suitable for the products which has a longer lead time.
