How To Fix PK207 - Materials with RS header and reporting point backflush not allowed

PK207 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PK - Production - KANBAN

• Message number: 207

• Message text: Materials with RS header and reporting point backflush not allowed

What causes this issue?

You want to use a manual kanban or a run schedule quantity to procure a
material that is produced in-house. However, a repetitive manufacturing
profile has been maintained for this material in which backflushing is
only carried out for a run schedule header with reporting points. This
process cannot be combined with KANBAN as the reporting point
backflushes are not carried out with reference to a kanban.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Either assign another repetitive manufacturing profile to the material
or change the profile accordingly.
If you want to use the reporting point backflush, you can also select a
replenishment strategy with KANBAN control. Here, the system carries
out backflushing and goods movements with no reference to the kanbans.
You can then exclude the material from the planning run, but not the
storage location to which the supply area is assigned.
