• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK170 - Material & in plant & contains marked cost estimate ?

  The SAP error message CK170 typically indicates that there is an issue with a material in a specific plant that contains a marked cost estimate. This error often arises during the cost estimate process, particularly when trying to create or change a cost estimate for a material that has already been marked for a previous cost estimate.
  Cause:
  
  Marked Cost Estimate: The material in question has a cost estimate that has been marked. This means that the cost estimate is locked for further changes until it is unmarked.

  Material Status: The material may have a status that prevents changes to its cost estimate.
