• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK126 - No indicator for kanban calculation for event-driven control cycle ?

  The SAP error message PK126 "No indicator for kanban calculation for event-driven control cycle" typically occurs in the context of Kanban processing within SAP's Production Planning (PP) module. This error indicates that the system is unable to find the necessary configuration or settings to perform the Kanban calculation for an event-driven control cycle.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The control cycle may not be properly configured. Specifically, the system is looking for an indicator that tells it how to handle the Kanban calculation, but it cannot find it.
  Control Cycle Type: The control cycle type may not be set up correctly or may not support event-driven processing.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data related to the material or the Kanban setup, such as missing or incorrect settings in the material master or the Kanban configuration.
  Event-Driven Control Cycle: If the control cycle is set to be event-driven, it may not have the necessary parameters defined for it to function correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Control Cycle Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code PKMC (Manage Control Cycles) and verify the configuration of the control cycle in question.
  Ensure that the control cycle is set up correctly and that the necessary indicators for Kanban calculation are defined.
  
  
  
  Review Control Cycle Type:
  
  Ensure that the control cycle type supports event-driven processing. You may need to adjust the settings or choose a different control cycle type that is compatible.
  
  
  
  Verify Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the relevant material. Ensure that the Kanban settings are correctly defined.
  Review the Kanban configuration in the material master (transaction code MM02).
  
  
  
  Check Event-Driven Settings:
  
  If you are using event-driven control cycles, ensure that the necessary events are configured and that the system can trigger the Kanban calculation based on those events.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on configuring Kanban and control cycles. This can provide insights into any additional settings that may be required.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the Kanban process to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
