• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK104 - Cost est. will be saved w/o itemization or cost element itemization ?

  The SAP error message CK104 ("Cost estimate will be saved without itemization or cost element itemization") typically occurs during the cost estimation process in SAP, particularly when dealing with product costing. This message indicates that the cost estimate is being saved without detailed itemization, which can affect the granularity of the cost data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data: The cost estimate may lack the necessary data for itemization, such as missing cost elements or missing master data for the materials involved.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the controlling (CO) module or the product costing settings may not be set up to allow for itemization.
  Costing Variant Settings: The costing variant used may not be configured to allow for detailed itemization.
  Costing Run: If the costing run is executed in a way that does not allow for itemization, this message may appear.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Master Data: Ensure that all relevant master data (materials, cost elements, etc.) is correctly maintained and available for the cost estimate.
  Review Costing Variant: Check the settings of the costing variant being used. Ensure that it is configured to allow for itemization. You can do this by navigating to the configuration settings in the SAP system.
  Adjust Configuration: If necessary, adjust the configuration in the controlling module to enable itemization. This may involve working with your SAP configuration team or a consultant.
  Re-run Cost Estimate: After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the cost estimate to see if the issue is resolved.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the configuration settings related to costing and itemization.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CK11N (Create Cost Estimate) or CK40N (Costing Run) to manage cost estimates.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify costing data and configurations.
  Testing: If changes are made, it is advisable to test in a development or quality environment before applying changes to the production system.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
