• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK106 - Costing run only possible for cost estimates belonging to company code ?

  The SAP error message CK106 indicates that a costing run is only possible for cost estimates that belong to a specific company code. This error typically arises when you attempt to perform a costing run (such as a cost estimate for a material) that does not match the company code associated with the cost estimate.
  Cause:
  
  
  Company Code Mismatch: The cost estimate you are trying to process is not associated with the company code you are currently working in. Each cost estimate is linked to a specific company code, and the system enforces this linkage to ensure that costing data is accurate and relevant to the financial reporting of that company code.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the cost estimates are not properly assigned to the correct company codes.
  
  
  Data Entry Error: The user may have inadvertently selected the wrong company code or material during the costing run process.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Company Code: Verify that the cost estimate you are trying to use is indeed associated with the correct company code. You can do this by checking the cost estimate in the relevant transaction (e.g., CK11N for creating cost estimates).
  
  
  Create/Update Cost Estimate: If the cost estimate does not belong to the correct company code, you may need to create a new cost estimate for the correct company code or update the existing one to ensure it is linked to the appropriate company code.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, review the settings in the controlling area and ensure that the cost estimates are correctly configured for the relevant company codes.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction codes and parameters that correspond to the company code you are working with.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on cost estimates and company code configurations.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CK11N (Create Cost Estimate), CK40N (Costing Run), and CK24 (Display Cost Estimate).
  Costing Variants: Understand the costing variants and their settings, as they can affect how cost estimates are created and processed.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform costing runs and access the relevant cost estimates.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these aspects, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in controlling (CO) and costing processes.
