• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK255 - No costing dates available ?

  The SAP error message CK255 "No costing dates available" typically occurs during the costing process in SAP, particularly when trying to perform a cost estimate for a material or product. This error indicates that the system cannot find any valid costing date for the material in question, which is necessary for determining the cost.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Costing Date: The most common cause is that there are no valid costing dates defined for the material in the system.
  Costing Variant Configuration: The costing variant may not be configured correctly, leading to the absence of valid costing dates.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may not have been maintained properly, particularly in the costing view.
  Costing Run Not Executed: If a costing run has not been executed for the relevant period, there may be no costing data available.
  Date Range Issues: The date range specified for the costing may not include any valid costing dates.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Costing Dates: Verify that there are valid costing dates available for the material. You can do this by checking the costing view in the material master (transaction MM03).
  Maintain Costing Data: If no costing data exists, you may need to create a new cost estimate for the material using transaction CK11N (Create Cost Estimate).
  Review Costing Variant: Ensure that the costing variant being used is correctly configured and includes the necessary settings for costing dates.
  Execute Costing Run: If applicable, execute a costing run (transaction CK40N) to generate the necessary costing data for the relevant period.
  Check Material Master: Ensure that the material master data is complete and accurate, particularly in the costing view.
