• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM729 - Partial proc. posted immediately when conf. sales order w/o cost coll. ?

  The SAP error message RM729 ("Partial processing posted immediately when confirming sales order without cost collection") typically occurs in the context of production order confirmations or when dealing with sales orders in SAP. This error indicates that there is an issue with the way the system is handling the confirmation of a sales order, particularly when it comes to cost collection.
  Cause:
  
  Cost Collection Settings: The error often arises when the sales order is configured in such a way that it does not allow for cost collection. This can happen if the order type or the configuration settings for the sales order do not support cost collection.
  Order Type Configuration: The order type may not be set up to allow for the posting of costs, which is necessary for the confirmation process.
  Missing or Incorrect Master Data: There may be missing or incorrect master data related to the sales order, such as the material master or the production version.
  System Configuration: The system may not be configured correctly to handle the specific type of sales order or production order being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Order Type Configuration: Review the configuration of the sales order type in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up to allow for cost collection. This can be done in the SPRO transaction under Sales and Distribution settings.
  Review Master Data: Ensure that all relevant master data (material master, BOM, routing, etc.) is correctly set up and linked to the sales order.
  Cost Collection Settings: If the sales order should allow for cost collection, check the settings in the controlling area and ensure that the relevant cost elements are defined.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific details on the error message RM729 and related configuration settings.
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test confirmation of the sales order to see if the error persists.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CO11N (for confirming production orders) or VA02 (to change sales orders) to investigate and make necessary changes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user performing the confirmation has the necessary authorizations to post costs and confirm orders.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) and CO (Controlling) modules for further assistance.
