• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK395 - A suitable future standard cost estimate could not be transferred ?

  The SAP error message CK395, which states "A suitable future standard cost estimate could not be transferred," typically occurs during the process of transferring standard cost estimates in the Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with product costing. This error indicates that the system could not find a valid future standard cost estimate for the material or product in question.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Future Standard Cost Estimate: The most common cause is that there is no future standard cost estimate available for the material in the specified period.
  Incorrect Validity Dates: The validity dates of the cost estimate may not align with the period you are trying to transfer it to.
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used may not be set up correctly or may not allow for the transfer of future standard costs.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data may not be correctly maintained, leading to issues in finding the appropriate cost estimate.
  Costing Run Not Executed: The costing run for the relevant period may not have been executed, resulting in no available cost estimates.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check for Future Standard Cost Estimates:
  
  Go to the transaction code CK11N (Create Cost Estimate) and check if a future standard cost estimate exists for the material in question.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create one.
