  The SAP error message RM074, which states "First confirm the reporting points individually," typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution, particularly when dealing with confirmation of production orders or reporting points in a manufacturing process.
  Cause:
  The error RM074 usually arises when there are multiple reporting points associated with a production order, and the system requires that each reporting point be confirmed individually before proceeding with further actions. This can happen in scenarios such as:

  Solution:
  To resolve the RM074 error, follow these steps:

  Check for Errors: If you encounter further issues, check for any other error messages or logs that may provide additional context on why the confirmations are not being accepted.
