SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RM - Messages for Repetitive Manufacturing

• Message number: 111

• Message text: Error reading reporting point information

What causes this issue?

The repetitive manufacturing profile is set for the reporting point
procedure. However, either no reporting points exist for the material
or they are incorrect. Two common reasons for this are:
The repetitive manufacturing profile has been changed in the current
session.
You have not defined any milestone operations in the routing.
When creating the product cost collector, no reporting points were
created.

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?

Two alternative solutions are possible:
Assign a repetitive manufacturing profile with no reporting point
procedure to the material in the material master record.
Recreate the reporting points by recosting the product cost collector.
To do this, the following prerequisites must be met:
In the material master record, in the production version, you must
enter a routing under either detailed planning (first priority) or
under rate-based planning (second priority).
Milestone operations must exist in this routing. The system ususally
automatically creates the reporting points from these milestones when
creating a product cost collector or when creating a production
version.
