• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK439 - No cost estimates can be selected with this indicator setting -> ?

  The SAP error message CK439 ("No cost estimates can be selected with this indicator setting") typically occurs in the context of cost estimation in the SAP system, particularly when working with cost estimates for materials or production processes. This error indicates that the system cannot find any cost estimates that match the specified selection criteria or indicator settings.
  Causes:
  
  
  Indicator Settings: The error often arises due to incorrect or incompatible indicator settings in the cost estimate selection criteria. This could include settings related to the status of the cost estimate (e.g., whether it is marked for deletion or not).
  
  
  Cost Estimate Status: The cost estimates may not be in a status that allows them to be selected. For example, if the cost estimate is marked as "inactive" or "deleted," it will not be available for selection.
  
  
  Date Validity: The cost estimates may not be valid for the date range specified in the selection criteria. If the cost estimate is not valid for the current period, it will not be selectable.
  
  
  Material Master Data: The material for which the cost estimate is being requested may not have any cost estimates created or may not be set up correctly in the material master.
  
  
  Costing Variant: The costing variant used may not be configured correctly or may not allow for the selection of certain cost estimates.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Indicator Settings: Review the indicator settings in the cost estimate selection screen. Ensure that the settings are appropriate for the cost estimates you are trying to access.
  
  
  Review Cost Estimate Status: Check the status of the cost estimates in the system. You can do this by navigating to the cost estimate display transaction (e.g., CK13N) and verifying the status of the relevant cost estimates.
  
  
  Validate Date Range: Ensure that the date range specified in your selection criteria includes the validity period of the cost estimates you are trying to access.
  
  
  Material Master Review: Verify that the material master data is correctly set up and that cost estimates exist for the material in question. You can check this in the material master (transaction MM03).
  
  
  Costing Variant Configuration: Review the configuration of the costing variant being used. Ensure that it is set up to allow the selection of the desired cost estimates.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
