• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEACT113 - &1 &2 cannot have a master reporting point because of the scrap ?

  The SAP error message PPEACT113 indicates that a specific activity (or operation) in a production process cannot have a master reporting point due to the presence of scrap. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution, particularly when dealing with production orders and reporting points in SAP's Production Planning (PP) module.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  Scrap is Defined: The production order or operation has been defined with scrap, which means that a certain percentage or quantity of the produced items is expected to be non-sellable or defective.
  Master Reporting Point Requirement: The system requires that a master reporting point (a point in the production process where progress is reported) cannot be established if there is scrap involved. This is because scrap complicates the reporting of actual production quantities and can lead to inconsistencies in reporting.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Review Scrap Settings:
  
  Check the production order or operation to see if scrap is defined. If it is not necessary, you may want to adjust the scrap percentage or quantity.
  If scrap is necessary, consider whether a master reporting point is essential for this operation.
  
  
  
  Change Reporting Point:
  
  If the operation must have a master reporting point, you may need to remove the scrap definition from that operation or change the reporting structure to accommodate the scrap.
  
  
  
  Adjust Production Order:
  
  If the production order is not yet released, you can modify the order to either remove the scrap or change the reporting point settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations related to scrap and reporting points in your system.
  
  
  
  Custom Development:
  
  In some cases, custom development may be required to handle specific business processes that involve scrap and reporting points.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CO02 (Change Production Order) or CO03 (Display Production Order) to make necessary adjustments.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If your organization has specific requirements, consider whether user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) can be utilized to customize the behavior of reporting points and scrap handling.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the PPEACT113 error and ensure that your production processes are correctly configured in SAP.
