manufacturing.

Applica on Areas:

Industry Type: Mechanical engineering, Consumer goods, electronics, and many more

Repe ve manufacturing profile to control how you want to carry out planning and back flushing in repe ve
manufacturing

Basic control parameter of the REM Profile

1. Whether you want to backflush ac vi es.

2. Whether you want to work with repor ng points in make-to-stock REM
3. How you want to process errors which occur when back flushing

Create the REM Profile:

SPRO Produc on Rep manufacturing Control Data Create REM Profile Assistant (T-Codes: OPP3/OSP2)

With help of the REM profile assistant create the Make-to-Stock REM Profile “TJ” (REM Profile for plant TAJA)
here GI backflush at GR pos ng check mark and RP backflush is mandatory/Op onal(as per requirements)

Create the Control key UK 02, with ‘milestone confirma on’ with help of the T-codes OP67.
The milestone confirma on is a special form of confirma on, in which the confirma on of one opera on causes
other opera ons or subopera ons to be automa cally confirmed at the same me.

As per REM profile selec on for the product cost accoun ng

There are two different type of cost accoun ng exit.

1. Standard cost es mate per material.

You can create this cost es mate once in a period with reference to a rou ng. You can post ac vi es on the basis
of this cost es mate if you produce a material using only one produc on version in one period.

Using T-code: CK11N do the standard cost es mate for current date and period, And release this standard cost es mate
through T-code: CK24.

2. Preliminary cos ng for the product cost collector.

2/11/2021 SAP REM full cycle scenario with basic step | SAP Blogs

You can create this cost es mate per produc on version. This makes sense if you produce one material using
different produc on versions and rou ng in one period.

Using T-code:KKF6N for create Preliminary cost es ma on in REM.

Here we selected preliminary cos ng for the product cost collector in REM profile

Create the [Link](PIR) for the finished material Air coil with help of the T-code: MD61

See the below pic of the stock requirement list a er genera ng the demand without run MRP. (T-codes : MD04 )

I prepared this document for the understand the basic step of the SAP REM process, and i hope this document
helpful to clear the basic concept of the REM process.

Hello Venkat,

Thanks for go through this document,

Please check the which control key assign in routing/rate routing, Milestone confirmation maintained for the this
control key. Please make sure the RP backflush checked on MFBF screen ( Because in REM profile we maintained
the RP backflush Mandatory) and assign Operation number(Control key with milestone confirmation assigned)on the
the Reporting point field on MFBF screen,

If you want to run this process without reporting point then simply make change in REM profile, select the RM
backflush optional.

Revert back if facing any other issue,,
