System Response

The system is consequently unable to select a material cost estimate.

How to fix this error?

Set at least one of these indicators.
It is possible there are several cost estimates for one material: cost
estimates <DS:GLOS.3526B719AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>with</> or
<DS:GLOS.3526B71AAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>without</> quantity

selected which exist for the criteria (for example costing variant,
material) you have entered.

  The SAP error message CK422 ("Select at least one option for costing with/without qty structure") typically occurs during the costing process in SAP, particularly when you are trying to perform a cost estimate for a material or product. This error indicates that the system requires you to specify whether you want to use quantity structure or not for the costing process.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are trying to execute a cost estimate without selecting any options for costing with or without quantity structure.
  The configuration settings in the costing variant do not allow for a default selection, leading to the requirement for manual input.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CK422 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Access the Costing Variant:
  
  Go to the transaction code CK11N (Create Cost Estimate) or CK40N (Costing Run).
  Select the costing variant you are using.
  
  
  
  Select Costing Options:
  
  In the costing screen, look for the section where you can select options for costing.
  You should see checkboxes or radio buttons for "Costing with Quantity Structure" and "Costing without Quantity Structure."
  Ensure that at least one of these options is selected.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If you are using a custom costing variant, check the configuration settings in the Customizing (transaction SPRO).
  Navigate to Controlling > Product Costing > Cost Object Controlling > Costing Variants and ensure that the costing variant is set up correctly to allow for the selection of costing options.

  Costing with Quantity Structure: This method uses the bill of materials (BOM) and routing to determine costs based on the quantities of components and operations involved in production.
  Costing without Quantity Structure: This method allows for a simpler costing approach, where costs are determined without considering the detailed BOM and routing.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  CK11N: Create Cost Estimate
  CK40N: Costing Run
  CK24: Display Cost Estimate
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on costing variants and their configuration.
