• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM680 - Failure cost processing in plant & for REM is not active ?

  The SAP error message RM680, which states "Failure cost processing in plant & for REM is not active," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning (PP) and Controlling (CO) modules, particularly when dealing with the repetitive manufacturing (REM) functionality.
  Cause:
  
  REM Not Active: The primary cause of this error is that the Repetitive Manufacturing (REM) functionality is not activated for the specific plant or material. This means that the system is not set up to handle cost processing for repetitive manufacturing scenarios.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system settings related to the plant or the material master data that prevent the activation of REM.
  Master Data Settings: The material master may not be correctly set up for REM, or the plant settings may not be aligned with the requirements for REM processing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate REM: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP and ensure that REM is activated for the relevant plant. This can typically be done in the following path:
  
  SPRO ? Production ? Repetitive Manufacturing ? Activate Repetitive Manufacturing for a Plant.
  
  
  Ensure that the plant is correctly configured to use REM.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Verify the material master data for the relevant materials. Ensure that the material is set up for REM processing. You can check this in the material master under the "MRP" and "Costing" views.
  Ensure that the "Repetitive Manufacturing" checkbox is selected if applicable.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for cost processing in the plant. Ensure that all necessary settings for cost calculation and processing are correctly configured.
  Review the settings for the controlling area and ensure that they align with the requirements for REM.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed steps on activating REM and configuring the necessary settings.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test run to ensure that the error is resolved and that cost processing works as expected.

  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to make changes to the configuration and master data.
