• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK548 - Pull interval [h:m] requires factory calendar and shift sequence ?

  The SAP error message PK548 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 PK548 error, you can follow these 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 hours.
  
  
  
  Check Shift Sequence:
  
  Go to the transaction code OOSB (Define Shift Sequence).
  Ensure that a shift sequence is defined and assigned to the relevant plant.
  Verify that the shift sequence includes the correct shifts and timings.
  
  
  
  Assign Factory Calendar and Shift Sequence:
  
  Go to the transaction code OPKP (Define Production Scheduling Profile).
  Ensure that the production scheduling profile used for the relevant material or production order is linked to the correct factory calendar and shift sequence.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master:
  
  Check the material master data for the relevant material (transaction code MM02).
  Ensure that the production scheduling profile is correctly assigned in the MRP 2 view.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by trying to create or process a production order again to see if the error persists.
