CK172 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CK - Product Costing Messages

• Message number: 172

• Message text: Material & in plant &: No cost est. exists -> raw mat. cost estimate

What causes this issue?

You are attempting to cost or select material &V1& in plant &V2& with
costing variant &V3&. However, the <DS:DE.CK_EKALREL>With quantity
structure</> indicator is not set in the costing view of the material
master record.

System Response

To determine a price for the material, the system first looked for a
<DS:GLOS.cost_estimate_without_quantity_structure>cost estimate without
quantity structure</>.
Because no cost estimate without quantity structure exists, the system
used the price in the material master. The planned costs for this
material will therefore go into the cost estimate as raw material
costs.

How to fix this error?

If you normally want to cost this material in a
<DS:GLOS.cost_estimate_with_quantity_structure>cost estimate with
quantity structure</>, set the <LS>With quantity structure</> indicator
in the material master record.
