• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NJIT_O_MSG182 - Secondary control cycle &1 should be consumption driven ?

  The SAP error message NJIT_O_MSG182 indicates that a secondary control cycle in your SAP system is not set up correctly for consumption-driven planning. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) modules, where control cycles are used to manage the flow of materials and production processes.
  Cause:
  The error message NJIT_O_MSG182 is triggered when:
  
  A secondary control cycle is defined, but it is not configured to be consumption-driven.
  The system expects that the secondary control cycle should be based on consumption data, but the settings do not align with this requirement.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Control Cycle Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code for maintaining control cycles (e.g., CYC1 for APO).
  Review the settings of the secondary control cycle in question.
  Ensure that the control cycle is set to be consumption-driven. This typically involves checking the settings related to the consumption method.
  
  
  
  Adjust Consumption Settings:
  
  If the control cycle is not set to consumption-driven, you may need to adjust the settings. Look for options that allow you to define the control cycle as consumption-driven.
  Ensure that the relevant consumption parameters are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data associated with the materials involved in the control cycle. Ensure that the materials are set up correctly for consumption-driven planning.
  Verify that the relevant planning parameters are correctly defined in the material master.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on configuring control cycles and consumption-driven planning.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the planning process works as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Control Cycles: In SAP, control cycles are used to manage the flow of materials and production processes. They define how materials are planned and controlled in the system.
  Consumption-Driven Planning: This approach uses actual consumption data to drive planning processes, allowing for more accurate forecasting and inventory management.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CYC1, CYC2, and CYC3 for creating, changing, and displaying control cycles.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
