Repetitive Manufacturing
Repetitive Manufacturing (REM) in SAP PP is a simplified production execution approach for high-volume, low-variant manufacturing environments such as automotive, consumer goods, and process-like discrete production. This topic covers REM master data setup, production versions, planning tables, backflushing, cost collectors, and how REM integrates with MRP, MM, QM, and CO, along with S/4HANA distinctions from classic ECC REM.

Lessons in this topic
- Repetitive Manufacturing Fundamentals and Master Data SetupUnderstand why Repetitive Manufacturing exists, how it differs from discrete order-based production, and what master data objects are required to run it.
- Configuring Production Versions, Planning Tables, and Backflushing in REMLearn how to configure REM profiles, production versions, and backflush behavior, and how the planning table drives daily execution and integrates with MRP output.
- Backflushing and Goods Movements in Repetitive ManufacturingUnderstand how REM confirmations trigger automatic backflushing of components and goods receipt of finished products, and how to design and troubleshoot the underlying goods movement logic.
