How To Fix RM040 - Repetitive manufacturing profile &1 inconsistent

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RM - Messages for Repetitive Manufacturing

• Message number: 040

• Message text: Repetitive manufacturing profile &1 inconsistent

What causes this issue?

The REM profile &V1& is set so that no component backflush is to be
carried out with the goods receipt. At the same time, however, a
profile has been maintained for the process control ("process control"
field). These two settings rule each other out; a separation of the
goods issues from the goods receipts using a process control profile
can only be carried out if, at the same time, the system is set to
backflush components at goods receipt.

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?

Please change one of the control parameters in REM profile &V1& so that
the backflush can be carried out.
