Post Reporting Points Subsequently

Use

With the mandatory reporting point confirmation, you can post reporting points subsequently. If you wish to post a goods receipt or a scrap quantity for a reporting point, you must have previously entered confirmations for all preceding reporting points. If this is not the case, it is possible to post the previous reporting points subsequently. The system calculates the good quantities (yields) at the reporting points for which no confirmation was entered on the basis of the reporting points for which confirmations were entered.

Procedure

On the initial screen for confirmation, choose Reporting Point Confirmation.
Enter a plant and a material.
Specify further selection criteria, if necessary.
Enter the reporting point for which you want to enter a confirmation and choose Post Scrap at RP.
Enter the confirmation or scrap quantity.
Choose Details.
Select the Post RPs Subseq. field.
Choose Continue .
Save your input.

Result

The system posts the quantity entered for this reporting point and simultaneously makes retrospective postings for the previous reporting points.

( )

The good quantity of the material that has also passed reporting points 10 and 20 on the line was not confirmed until reporting point 30. Only if you subsequently post the previous reporting points does the system post the goods receipt = 1.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

( ) Further numerical examples:

The "subsequent posting" function ensures that the reporting point quantities for succeeding reporting points remain the same or diminish. If the quantity already confirmed at the previous reporting points is larger than the quantity at the reporting point just posted, nothing changes upon subsequent posting. If the quantity is smaller, retrospective postings are carried out starting from the last reporting point back to the first. Posting is always based on the highest previously confirmed value.

Example 1:

You confirm an additional 200 pieces at the reporting point operation 40.

Reporting point	Quantities before posting RP40	Quantities after posting 200 pc at RP40
10	400	500
20	400	500
30	400	500
40	300	500

The quantity at the other reporting points increases by just 100 pc to 500 pc.

Example 2:

You only confirm just 50 pieces at reporting point 40.

Reporting point	Quantities before posting RP40	Quantities after posting 50 pc at RP40
10	400	400
20	400	400
30	400	400
40	300	350

No subsequent postings are made at the other reporting points.

Example 3:

You confirm 200 pc at reporting point 40.

Reporting point	Quantities before posting RP40	Quantities after posting 200 pc at RP40
10	400	600
20	600	600
30	400	500
40	300	500

Here, the system posts just the necessary 100 pc at reporting point 30. At reporting point 10, however, it posts 200 pc. This is attributable to the fact that 600 pc had already been posted at reporting point 20, which means that these 600 pc must also have passed reporting point 10. The posting is thus always based on the highest previously or subsequently (retrospectively) posted value.

( ) In the case of optional reporting point confirmation, selection of the Subs. Pstg Rep. Pts indicator causes the remaining reporting points also to be subsequently posted. However, this is not absolutely necessary.
