• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM790 - Only "scrap confirmation at reporting point" possible ?

  The SAP error message RM790, which states "Only scrap confirmation at reporting point possible," typically occurs in the context of production order confirmations. This error indicates that the system is set up to allow only scrap confirmations at a specific reporting point, and it usually arises when trying to confirm production quantities that are not aligned with the allowed confirmation types.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The production order or the reporting point may be configured to only allow scrap confirmations. This can happen if the reporting point is set up to handle only scrap material, or if the production order is in a state that does not allow for standard confirmations.
  Order Status: The production order may be in a status that restricts the type of confirmation that can be made. For example, if the order is already partially confirmed or if it is in a closed status.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record for the item being produced may have settings that restrict the type of confirmations that can be made.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the reporting point and the production order. Ensure that the reporting point is set up to allow the type of confirmation you are trying to perform.
  Review Order Status: Check the status of the production order. If it is partially confirmed or in a closed state, you may need to adjust the order status or create a new confirmation.
  Material Master Review: Inspect the material master settings for the item in question. Ensure that the settings allow for the type of confirmation you are attempting.
  Use Correct Confirmation Type: If the system is configured to only allow scrap confirmations, ensure that you are entering a scrap confirmation rather than a standard confirmation.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings related to production confirmations and reporting points.
  
  Related Information:

  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the type of confirmation being attempted.
