How To Fix RM034 - Repetitive mfg profile &: planned order reduction must be activated

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RM - Messages for Repetitive Manufacturing

• Message number: 034

• Message text: Repetitive mfg profile &: planned order reduction must be activated

What causes this issue?

The ERP system is integrated with an MES and the planned order to be
confirmed has been distributed to the MES. To ensure the consistency of
the distributed planned orders between the ERP system and the MES, the
confirmation from the MES must reduce the planned quantity of the
planned order to be confirmed. This reduction in quantity is only
possible if the <LS>Reduce Planned Orders Assigned to Version</>
indicator has been set in the repetitive manufacturing profile in
Customizing for Repetitive Manufacturing. However, this indicator has
not been set in the repetitive manufacturing profile &V1&.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Set the <LS>Reduce Planned Orders Assigned to Version</> indictor in the
repetitive manufacturing profile &V1&. The <LS>Plus Planned Orders Not
Yet Assigned</> and <LS>Plus Planned Orders Assigned to Other Versions
</> indicators must not be set.
In Customizing, choose <ZK>Production -> Repetitive Manufacturing ->
Control -> <DS:SIMG.SIMG_CFMENUOPP3OSP2>Define Repetitive Manufacturing
Profiles</>.</>

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM034 - Repetitive mfg profile &: planned order reduction must be activated ?

  The SAP error message RM034, which states "Repetitive mfg profile &: planned order reduction must be activated," typically occurs in the context of repetitive manufacturing when there is an issue with the configuration of the manufacturing profile or the planned order settings.
  Cause:
  The error is generally caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Repetitive Manufacturing Profile Configuration: The repetitive manufacturing profile assigned to the material does not have the "Planned Order Reduction" option activated. This setting is necessary for the system to handle planned orders correctly in a repetitive manufacturing environment.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may not be configured correctly for repetitive manufacturing, leading to this error when trying to create or process planned orders.
  Order Type Settings: The order type used for the planned order may not be compatible with the settings required for repetitive manufacturing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RM034 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Repetitive Manufacturing Profile:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the repetitive manufacturing profile in SAP.
  Navigate to the path: Logistics > Production > Repetitive Manufacturing > Master Data > Maintain Repetitive Manufacturing Profiles.
  Ensure that the "Planned Order Reduction" option is activated for the relevant profile.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Access the material master record for the affected material using transaction code MM03.
  Check the "MRP" (Material Requirements Planning) views and ensure that the settings align with the requirements for repetitive manufacturing.
  Make sure that the material is set up for repetitive manufacturing and that the appropriate production type is selected.
  
  
  
  Check Order Type Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the order type used for planned orders in repetitive manufacturing.
  Ensure that the order type is set up to allow planned order reduction.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to create or process the planned order again to see if the error persists.
