How To Fix RM887 - Changed REM profile regarding generation of postprocessing records

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RM - Messages for Repetitive Manufacturing

• Message number: 887

• Message text: Changed REM profile regarding generation of postprocessing records

What causes this issue?

An assembly for which postprocessing records already exist was
confirmed or postprocessed. In the existing postprocessing records,
there is an inconsistency between the individual records and the
cumulated records.
A possible reason is that the setting "Error correction for backflush
-> generate additional individual postprocessing records" was changed
in the repetitive manufacturing profile of the assembly in the current
settings.
However, an inconsistency between individual records and cumulated
records can also be caused by a program error.

System Response

You can only execute the transaction when the existing inconsistencies
are fixed.

How to fix this error?

If the described change to the repetitive manufacturing profile exists,
take the following steps:
Check the setting for generating postprocessing records in the
repetitive manufacturing profile of the assembly. Reverse the change
and postprocess all postprocessing records of the assemblies to which
this profile is assigned. This repetitive manufacturing setting can
only be changed when no more postprocessing records exist. You can then
carry out confirmation successfully.
If the repetitive manufacturing profile has not been changed regarding
the generation of postprocessing records:
Start a CSN note search with the key word 'RM887' and continue as is
described there.
