How To Fix PK227 - Control cycle &1 not calculated as RLT of mat. &2 has not been maintained

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PK - Production - KANBAN

• Message number: 227

• Message text: Control cycle &1 not calculated as RLT of mat. &2 has not been maintained

What causes this issue?

The system could not carry out the calculation for control cycle &V1&
as no replenishment lead time could be determined for material &V2&.

How to fix this error?

For the kanban calculation, you can maintain the replenishment lead
time in the control cycle. If it is not maintained there, the system
tries to find the replenishment lead time in the material master
record.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK227 - Control cycle &1 not calculated as RLT of mat. &2 has not been maintained ?

  The SAP error message PK227 indicates that a control cycle for a specific material has not been calculated because the relevant RLT (Replenishment Lead Time) for that material has not been maintained. This error typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with control cycles in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RLT Data: The primary cause of this error is that the Replenishment Lead Time (RLT) for the specified material has not been defined in the system. RLT is crucial for planning purposes as it determines how long it takes to replenish stock.
  Control Cycle Configuration: The control cycle itself may not be properly configured or may be missing necessary data.
  Material Master Data: The material master data for the specified material may be incomplete or incorrectly maintained.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PK227 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Maintain RLT in Material Master:
  
  Go to the Material Master (Transaction Code: MM02).
  Enter the material number (e.g., &2 in the error message).
  Navigate to the relevant views (usually the MRP or Purchasing view).
  Ensure that the Replenishment Lead Time (RLT) is filled in correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Control Cycle Configuration:
  
  Use Transaction Code: PK05 to check the control cycle for the material.
  Ensure that all necessary fields are filled out correctly and that the control cycle is active.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that all relevant data for the material is complete and accurate.
  Check for any missing or incorrect entries that could affect the control cycle calculation.
  
  
  
  Recalculate Control Cycle:
  
  After maintaining the RLT and ensuring the control cycle is correctly configured, you may need to recalculate the control cycle.
  Use Transaction Code: PK02 to recalculate the control cycle for the material.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
