• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEACT114 - &1 &2 must have a reporting point type because of activity scrap ?

  The SAP error message PPEACT114 indicates that there is an issue related to the reporting point type in the context of activity scrap in production planning or process order management. This error typically arises when the system expects a reporting point type to be defined for a specific operation or activity, but it is missing or incorrectly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Reporting Point Type: The operation or activity in question does not have a reporting point type assigned, which is required for handling activity scrap.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the production order or the routing may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of a reporting point type.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the data entry for the production order or routing that prevent the system from recognizing the required reporting point type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Routing and Production Order:
  
  Go to the routing associated with the production order and check if the reporting point type is defined for the relevant operation.
  If it is missing, you will need to assign a valid reporting point type.
  
  
  
  Assign Reporting Point Type:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., CA01 for creating a routing or CA02 for changing a routing).
  Select the operation that is causing the error and ensure that a reporting point type is assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the Customizing (SPRO) for production planning and ensure that the reporting point types are correctly defined and linked to the relevant activities.
  
  
  
  Validate Activity Scrap Settings:
  
  Ensure that the settings for activity scrap are correctly configured in the system. This may involve checking the parameters for scrap handling in the production order settings.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, try to process the production order again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CA01 (Create Routing), CA02 (Change Routing), CO01 (Create Production Order), and CO02 (Change Production Order).
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on routing, production orders, and activity scrap handling.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is involved, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might affect the reporting point type assignment.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning to further investigate the root cause.
