How To Fix PK547 - Pull interval [h:m] requires factory calendar and shift sequence

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PK - Production - KANBAN

• Message number: 547

• Message text: Pull interval [h:m] requires factory calendar and shift sequence

What causes this issue?

You have maintained a pull interval in hours and minutes in the control
cycle. If this time is to be used to calculate the control cycle, you
must maintain the exact working time of the consumer (demand source) in
a factory calendar or shift sequence and then enter this calendar or
consumer's shift sequence in a calculation profile or the production
supply area (PSA). You must then assign the calculation profile or the
PSA to this control cycle.
You have not specified a factory calendar or shift sequence for the
consumer in either the PSA or the calculation profile.

System Response

The system issues this error message.

How to fix this error?

Check the calculation profile or the PSA. You can display the
calculation profile and PSA entered in the control cycle.
Enter the factory calendar and shift sequence for either the consumer
(demand source) or the supply source in the calculation profile. Or
enter the factory calendar and shift sequence for the consumer in the
PSA.

Procedure for System Administrators

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

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK547 - Pull interval [h:m] requires factory calendar and shift sequence ?

  The SAP error message PK547 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the pull interval in the context of production planning and control. Specifically, it suggests that the system requires a factory calendar and shift sequence to properly calculate the pull interval for production orders or planning.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Factory Calendar: The factory calendar defines the working days and hours for a specific plant. If the factory calendar is not assigned to the relevant plant or is not properly configured, the system cannot determine the working times for the pull interval.
  
  
  Missing Shift Sequence: The shift sequence defines the working shifts for the employees in the plant. If there is no shift sequence defined or assigned, the system cannot calculate the production capacity and timings accurately.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be incorrect or incomplete configuration settings in the production planning module that lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PK547 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Factory Calendar:
  
  Go to the transaction code SCAL (Maintain Factory Calendar).
  Ensure that a factory calendar is created and assigned to the relevant plant.
  Verify that the calendar is correctly configured with the appropriate working days and holidays.
  
  
  
  Check Shift Sequence:
  
  Go to the transaction code OOSB (Define Shift Sequence).
  Ensure that a shift sequence is defined and assigned to the relevant work center or production area.
  Verify that the shift sequence includes the correct shifts and timings.
  
  
  
  Assign Factory Calendar and Shift Sequence:
  
  Ensure that the factory calendar and shift sequence are assigned to the relevant master data, such as work centers or production resources.
  You can check this in the work center configuration (transaction code CR01 or CR02).
  
  
  
  Recheck Pull Interval Settings:
  
  Review the settings for the pull interval in the relevant production planning configuration to ensure they are set correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by trying to execute the process that previously generated the error.
