Term: Reporting Point
Component: PP-REM Repetitive Manufacturing
Definition: A reporting point in SAP PP-REM is a specific location or stage within the repetitive manufacturing process where production data such as quantities produced, scrap, or downtime is recorded. It acts as a checkpoint to capture actual production progress and performance during the continuous flow of manufacturing.
How It’s Used: In repetitive manufacturing scenarios, reporting points are used to collect real-time production data without interrupting the continuous production process. For example, a reporting point might be set up at the end of a production line or after a critical operation to record the number of units produced or any defects. This data is then used for production monitoring, cost calculation, and capacity planning.
Important Configuration:
- Define reporting points in the repetitive manufacturing master data using T-code COR6N or via the repetitive manufacturing profile.
- Assign reporting points to specific production lines or operations within the repetitive manufacturing process.
- Configure confirmation parameters and data collection methods (manual or automatic) for each reporting point.
- Set up integration with production order confirmation and variance calculation in the controlling area.
