• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM702 - Scrap confirmation at RP not possible if no RP quantities exist ?

  The SAP error message RM702, which states "Scrap confirmation at RP not possible if no RP quantities exist," typically occurs in the context of production order processing, particularly when dealing with scrap confirmation in a production environment. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  No Remaining Quantities: The error indicates that there are no remaining quantities (RP - Remaining Production quantities) available for the production order. This can happen if:
  
  The production order has already been fully confirmed.
  The quantities have already been scrapped or accounted for in previous confirmations.
  The production order has been closed or technically completed.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Status: The production order might be in a status that does not allow for further confirmations, such as "TECO" (Technically Completed) or "CLOSE".
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Production Order Status:
  
  Verify the status of the production order. If it is already completed or closed, you will not be able to perform any further confirmations, including scrap confirmations.
  
  
  
  Review Confirmations:
  
  Check if there have been previous confirmations that might have accounted for all the quantities. If the order has been fully confirmed, you will not be able to scrap any additional quantities.
  
  
  
  Adjust Production Order:
  
  If you need to scrap quantities and the order is still open, you may need to adjust the production order or create a new one if necessary.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction:
  
  Ensure you are using the correct transaction code for scrap confirmation. The typical transaction for confirming production orders is CO11N (Single Screen Entry of Confirmations).
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists and you believe there should be remaining quantities, consult with your SAP support team or check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CO11N (for confirmations), COHV (for mass processing of confirmations), and CO02 (for changing production orders).
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to production order confirmations and scrap handling to understand the processes and requirements.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform scrap confirmations on production orders.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the RM702 error effectively. If the problem continues, further investigation into the specific production order and its history may be required.
