the indicator for relevancy to costing for the BOM item is not set
no cost elements are defined in the system
no chart of accounts exists in the system
the part of the cost component split that is relevant to inventory
valuation is zero
If the cost estimate is a standard cost estimate, the system will issue
an error message if the total of all cost components that are relevant
to stock valuation is zero. A standard cost estimate with a cost
component split of zero cannot be released for stock valuation because
the sysem sets the status to "Costed with errors".

The cost estimate for the material concerned receives the status
"Costed with errors".
