  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK457 - No control cycle relevant for stock correction was found ?

    The SAP error message PK457 "No control cycle relevant for stock correction was found" typically occurs in the context of Production Planning (PP) and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) when there is an attempt to perform a stock correction for a material that is not properly linked to a control cycle in the system.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Control Cycle: The most common cause of this error is that the material in question does not have an associated control cycle in the system. Control cycles are used in SAP to manage the flow of materials in production and are essential for stock corrections.

    2. Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the material or the production process may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of a control cycle.

    3. Material Master Data Issues: The material master data may not be correctly maintained, which can lead to the system not recognizing the material as relevant for stock corrections.

    4. Plant or Storage Location Issues: The plant or storage location associated with the material may not be correctly set up or may not have the necessary control cycle defined.

    Solution:

    1. Check Control Cycle Configuration:

      • Go to the transaction code PK01 (Create Control Cycle) or PK02 (Change Control Cycle) to check if a control cycle exists for the material and plant combination.
      • If it does not exist, create a new control cycle for the relevant material and plant.
    2. Review Material Master Data:

      • Use transaction code MM03 to display the material master data and ensure that all relevant fields are correctly filled out, especially in the MRP and Plant data views.
    3. Check Plant and Storage Location:

      • Ensure that the plant and storage location are correctly assigned to the material and that they have the necessary control cycles defined.
    4. Run MRP:

      • After making the necessary changes, run the MRP process again to see if the error persists.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations related to your organization's setup.

    Related Information:
