How To Fix RM299 - Reporting point changed, but still decoupled confirmation to be posted

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RM - Messages for Repetitive Manufacturing

• Message number: 299

• Message text: Reporting point changed, but still decoupled confirmation to be posted

What causes this issue?

For a production version, the reporting point structure should be
created again (with or without preliminary costing of the product cost
collector), because reporting points have been added or deleted. On the
same day already, backflushes were created to which separate goods
issues or production activities must be posted.

System Response

The recording point structure cannot be updated, as the separate goods
issues or production activities would then not be made up for. If you
are using preliminary costing, this is therefore terminated.

How to fix this error?

First complete the postings that are still open (Logistics ->
Production -> Repetitive Manufacturing -> Backflush -> Separated
Backflush)

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM299 - Reporting point changed, but still decoupled confirmation to be posted ?

  The SAP error message RM299, which states "Reporting point changed, but still decoupled confirmation to be posted," typically occurs in the context of production order processing, particularly when dealing with confirmations in the Production Planning (PP) module. This error indicates that there is a discrepancy between the reporting point of a production order and the confirmations that have been posted.
  Cause:
  
  Reporting Point Change: The reporting point for a production order has been changed after some confirmations have already been posted. This can happen if the production process is modified, or if there are changes in the production order settings.
  Decoupled Confirmations: The system detects that there are confirmations that have been posted which are not aligned with the new reporting point. This can occur if the confirmations were made before the reporting point was changed, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Production Order: Review the production order to understand the current reporting point and the confirmations that have been posted. You can do this using transaction codes like CO03 (Display Production Order) or CO11N (Single Screen Confirmation).
  
  
  Revert Reporting Point Change: If the reporting point change was not necessary, consider reverting it back to the original reporting point where the confirmations were valid.
  
  
  Post Confirmations: If the reporting point change is valid, ensure that all confirmations are posted correctly according to the new reporting point. You may need to post additional confirmations or adjust existing ones.
  
  
  Delete Incorrect Confirmations: If there are confirmations that are no longer valid due to the reporting point change, you may need to delete or reverse those confirmations. This can be done using transaction CO13 (Delete Confirmation).
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines related to your version of SAP and the configuration of your production processes.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the process to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to RM299 for additional insights or patches that may address this issue.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If your organization has custom logic implemented, review any user exits or BAdIs that might affect the confirmation process.
