• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK456 - &2 cost estimates were selected of the &1 in the archive ?

  The SAP error message CK456 indicates that cost estimates have been archived for a particular material or object, and the system is unable to retrieve the necessary cost estimates from the archive for processing. This typically occurs when you are trying to access cost estimates that have been archived and are no longer available in the active database.
  Cause:
  
  Archiving Process: The cost estimates for the specified material or object have been archived as part of the data management process in SAP. This is often done to improve system performance and manage data volume.
  Accessing Archived Data: The system is attempting to access cost estimates that are not available in the current database but are instead stored in the archive.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Archive Settings: Verify the archiving settings in your SAP system to understand which cost estimates have been archived and why. You can do this by checking the archiving object related to cost estimates.
  Restore Archived Data: If you need to access the archived cost estimates, you may need to restore them from the archive. This can typically be done using transaction codes related to archiving, such as SARA (Archive Administration).
  Use Current Cost Estimates: If the archived cost estimates are not needed, consider using the most recent active cost estimates for your calculations or reports.
  Adjust Reporting/Processing Logic: If your processes or reports are trying to access archived data, you may need to adjust the logic to ensure that only active data is being accessed.
