• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK155 - Material has no standard cost estimate ?

  The SAP error message CK155 ("Material has no standard cost estimate") typically occurs when you are trying to perform a transaction that requires a standard cost estimate for a material, but no such estimate exists in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during inventory valuation, production planning, or when running cost reports.
  Cause:
  
  No Standard Cost Estimate Created: The most common reason for this error is that a standard cost estimate has not been created for the material in question.
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used may not be set up correctly, or it may not be applicable to the material.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may not be properly maintained, leading to missing costing information.
  Valuation Class: The valuation class assigned to the material may not be linked to a valid cost estimate.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a Standard Cost Estimate:
  
  Go to the transaction code CK11N (Create Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure).
  Enter the material number and the relevant plant.
  Execute the costing run to create a standard cost estimate.
  After creating the cost estimate, ensure to mark it as "active" if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Costing Variant:
  
  Ensure that the costing variant used is appropriate for the material and is configured correctly in the system.
  You can check this in the configuration settings under Controlling > Product Cost Controlling > Costing > Costing Variants.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Use transaction code MM03 to display the material master data.
  Check the accounting view to ensure that the valuation class and other relevant fields are correctly filled out.
  
  
  
  Check Valuation Class:
  
  Ensure that the valuation class assigned to the material is linked to a valid cost estimate in the system.
