• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK350 - Mat. & in plant & should be costed in cost est. w/o qty structure ?

  The SAP error message CK350 indicates that a material in a specific plant is expected to be costed in a cost estimate without a quantity structure. This typically occurs in the context of product costing, particularly when dealing with materials that do not have a defined bill of materials (BOM) or routing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BOM or Routing: The material may not have a BOM or routing defined, which is necessary for costing in a quantity structure.
  Costing Variant Settings: The costing variant may be set up in a way that requires a quantity structure for the material, but the material is not configured accordingly.
  Material Master Settings: The material master data may not be correctly set up for costing purposes, particularly in the costing view.
  Costing Type: The costing type being used may not be appropriate for the material in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM and Routing: Ensure that the material has a valid BOM and routing if it is supposed to be costed with a quantity structure. If not, consider whether it should be costed without a quantity structure.
  Adjust Costing Variant: Review the settings of the costing variant being used. If the material should be costed without a quantity structure, ensure that the costing variant allows for this.
  Review Material Master: Go to the material master record and check the costing view. Ensure that all necessary fields are filled out correctly and that the material is set up for costing.
  Use Alternative Costing: If the material is indeed meant to be costed without a quantity structure, you may need to use a different costing method or type that accommodates this.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations related to your organization's setup.

  Material Types: Different material types may have different requirements for costing, so ensure that the material type is appropriate for your costing needs.
