How To Fix RM094 - Rep. point does not exist as operation in standard cost estimate

RM094 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RM - Messages for Repetitive Manufacturing

• Message number: 094

• Message text: Rep. point does not exist as operation in standard cost estimate

What causes this issue?

For the backflush in repetitive manufacturing, a standard cost estimate
is required to determine the costs of the production activities. When
determining the production activities, the values from the standard
cost estimate are used in proportion to the backflush quantity.
However, the standard cost estimate can only be saved per material. If
a material is produced on several production lines with several
production versions and, therefore, with several routings, then the
costs are only determined as a proportion to <ZH>one</> standard cost
estimate. This means that when backflushing in such a situation, a
certain unpreciseness cannot be avoided in the actual production
activities.
The following problem may occur when carrying out a reporting point
backflush in repetitive manufacturing:
Situation :
A reporting point material is produced on 2 production lines with
different production versions with different routings and, thus, with
different operations.
The standard cost estimate is created based on the data in the routing.
If a reporting point backflush is then carried out for this material,
with a reporting point (milestone operation) that is not recorded in
the standard cost estimate as an operation, the system issues an error
message as the production activities for this reporting point cannot be
calculated using the standard cost estimate.

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?

If a material is produced with different production versions and
different routings, then the operation structure in both routings
should be identical. This means, that the reporting points should be
defined in the standard cost estimate as operations.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM094 - Rep. point does not exist as operation in standard cost estimate ?

  The SAP error message RM094 ("Rep. point does not exist as operation in standard cost estimate") typically occurs in the context of cost accounting and production planning when there is an issue with the standard cost estimate for a material or product. This error indicates that the system cannot find a relevant operation for the reporting point in the standard cost estimate.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Operations: The reporting point specified in the cost estimate does not have a corresponding operation defined in the routing or production version.
  Incorrect Cost Estimate: The standard cost estimate may not have been properly created or updated, leading to inconsistencies.
  Routing Issues: The routing for the material may not be correctly defined, or the operations may not be linked to the correct reporting points.
  Versioning Issues: The cost estimate may be referencing an outdated or incorrect version of the routing or bill of materials (BOM).
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in
