• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C+640 - No released mixed cost estimate exists for material &1 in &2 ?

  The SAP error message C+640 indicates that there is no released mixed cost estimate available for a specific material in a particular plant. This error typically arises when you attempt to perform a transaction that requires a cost estimate, such as creating a production order or performing a goods movement, but the system cannot find a valid cost estimate for the specified material.
  Cause:
  
  No Cost Estimate Created: A mixed cost estimate has not been created for the material in the specified plant.
  Cost Estimate Not Released: A cost estimate may exist, but it has not been released. Only released cost estimates can be used in transactions.
  Incorrect Plant or Material: The material or plant specified in the transaction may be incorrect or not properly maintained in the system.
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used may not be set up correctly, or the necessary settings for mixed costing may not be configured.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a Mixed Cost Estimate:
  
  Navigate to the transaction for creating a cost estimate (e.g., CK11N for creating a cost estimate).
  Enter the material and plant details, and create a new mixed cost estimate.
  Ensure that all necessary components and parameters are included in the cost estimate.
  
  
  
  Release the Cost Estimate:
  
  If a cost estimate already exists, check its status. You can use transaction CK24 to release the cost estimate.
  Ensure that the cost estimate is marked as "released" so that it can be used in subsequent transactions.
  
  
  
  Verify Material and Plant:
  
  Double-check that the material number and plant code you are using in your transaction are correct.
  Ensure that the material is properly set up in the system and is assigned to the correct plant.
  
  
  
  Check Costing Variant Settings:
  
  Review the costing variant settings in the configuration (transaction OKKN) to ensure that mixed costing is enabled and configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on cost estimates and mixed costing.
