• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM087 - Further operations have been defined after the last reporting point ?

  The SAP error message RM087 ("Further operations have been defined after the last reporting point") typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution, particularly when dealing with production orders or process orders. This error indicates that there are operations defined in the routing or production order that cannot be executed because they are positioned after the last reporting point.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Routing Configuration: The routing for the production order may have operations defined that are not logically sequenced after the last reporting point.
  Missing Reporting Points: If the reporting points are not correctly defined in the routing, the system may not recognize where the last reporting point is.
  Order Status: The production order may be in a status that does not allow further operations to be processed.
  Incorrectly Defined Operations: There may be operations that are not relevant or incorrectly defined in the production order.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Routing: Review the routing for the production order to ensure that the operations are correctly sequenced and that there are no operations defined after the last reporting point.
  Adjust Reporting Points: If necessary, adjust the reporting points in the routing to ensure they align with the operations.
  Review Order Status: Ensure that the production order is in a status that allows for further processing. If the order is completed or closed, you may need to reopen it or create a new order.
  Modify Operations: If there are operations that are not needed or incorrectly defined, modify or remove them as necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling routing and reporting points.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CO02 (Change Production Order) or C202 (Change Process Order) to review and modify production orders.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is involved, check for any user exits or BAdIs that may affect the processing of operations in production orders.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in production planning and execution are trained on the importance of routing and reporting points to avoid similar issues in the future.
  
  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.
