• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK302 - Unit cost est. found for material & in plant & for cstg variant & ?

  The SAP error message CK302 indicates that a unit cost estimate has been found for a specific material in a particular plant and for a specific costing variant. This message typically arises during the costing process, particularly when trying to create or change a cost estimate for a material that already has an existing cost estimate.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Cost Estimate: The primary cause of this error is that there is already a cost estimate for the specified material, plant, and costing variant. SAP does not allow the creation of a new cost estimate if one already exists unless certain conditions are met.
  Costing Variant Settings: The costing variant settings may not allow for the creation of a new cost estimate if one already exists.
  Locked Cost Estimate: The existing cost estimate may be locked for some reason, preventing changes or new estimates from being created.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Cost Estimates: Use transaction code CK13N (Display Cost Estimate) to check if a cost estimate already exists for the material, plant, and costing variant. If it does, you may need to modify or release it.
  Change Costing Variant Settings: If you need to create a new cost estimate, you may need to adjust the settings in the costing variant to allow for this. This can be done in transaction code OKKN (Maintain Costing Variants).
  Delete or Mark for Deletion: If the existing cost estimate is no longer needed, you can delete it or mark it for deletion using transaction code CK14N (Delete Cost Estimate).
  Use Different Costing Variant: If applicable, consider using a different costing variant that does not have an existing cost estimate.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines related to your organization's configuration.

  Costing Variants: Understand the settings and configurations of costing variants in your SAP system, as they dictate how cost estimates are created and managed.
  Costing Run: If you are performing a costing run, ensure that all necessary prerequisites are met and that no existing estimates are causing conflicts.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP functional consultant or support team for further assistance.
