How To Fix CK465 - No price could be determined for material/batch &1 plant &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CK - Product Costing Messages

• Message number: 465

• Message text: No price could be determined for material/batch &1 plant &2

What causes this issue?

The system could not calculate a price for material/batch &v1& in plant
&v2& for <DS:GLOS.valuation_view>valuation view</> &V4&, because none
of the <DS:GLOS.valuation_strategy>valuation strategies</> in
<DS:GLOS.valuation_variant>valuation variant</> &v3& was successful.

System Response

User-defined error management enables you to specify whether the
message is an error message, a warning message or an information
message.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

If you have defined the message as a <ZH>warning message</> or an
<ZH>information message</>, the costing item will be entered in the
cost estimate with a value of zero.
If you have defined the message as an <ZH>error message</>, the cost
estimate contains an error or errors.
In the case of a
<DS:GLOS.3526B72BAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>material cost estimate</>,
the system sets the status <ls>KF</>.
If it is a
<DS:GLOS.3526B71AAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>cost estimate without
quantity structure</>, or
<DS:GLOS.3526B74EAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>base object cost estimate</>
(that is, a <DS:GLOS.3526B6A3AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>unit cost
estimate</>), the system cannot proceed with costing until you have
corrected the errors.
If the system issues a <ZH>termination message</>, the cost estimate
cannot be processed, and processing is terminated.

How to fix this error?

Check the master data for material/batch &v1& in plant &v2&.
If you have authorization for Customizing, check the valuation strategy
for materials in valuation variant &v3&.
<ZH>Note</>
If the message is a warning message or an information message, there is
a danger that materials with errors will be ignored by the system.
If, because of this, you issue a warning message and at the same time
include materials with a zero value in cost estimates, you can make the
following settings for these materials in the costing view of the
material master:
Enter a very low price in the <ZH>planned price 1</>, <ZH>2</> or <ZH>3
</> fields manually, for instance 0.01 USD. These prices are used for
costing purposes only; they are not read by other applications.
Enter the highest price unit possible, for example 10000.
Note: If you enter a new price unit that is higher than the costing lot
size, the system increases the costing lot size accordingly.
Change the valuation strategy, such as strategy 4, where you could
enter the planned price field in which you entered the low price.
The system now costs as follows:
Using the valuation strategy, the system finds planned price 1, 2 or 3.
Due to the low price and high price unit, the system rounds the value
to zero. However, the cost estimate still obtains status KA (free of
errors), and no error message is issued.
This procedure can be used for all materials that have caused error
message CK465 to be issued.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK465 - No price could be determined for material/batch &1 plant &2 ?

  The SAP error message CK465 ("No price could be determined for material/batch &1 plant &2") typically occurs during the costing process when the system is unable to find a valid price for a specific material and batch in a given plant. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Price Control: The material may not have a price control indicator set (e.g., moving average price or standard price).
  Batch Management Issues: If the material is batch-managed, the specific batch may not have a price assigned.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may be incomplete or incorrectly configured, particularly in the accounting view.
  Valuation Class: The valuation class assigned to the material may not be set up correctly in the configuration.
  No Valid Price in the Price Determination Process: The system may not find a valid price in the price determination process due to missing or incorrect entries in the relevant tables.
  Inactive or Missing Condition Records: If the pricing is based on condition records (e.g., in the case of sales or purchasing), there may be no active condition records for the material.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the accounting view for the material in question. Ensure that the price control indicator is set correctly.
  Verify that the valuation class is appropriate and that the material is properly configured for costing.
  
  
  
  Review Batch Information:
  
  If the material is batch-managed, check the batch information (transaction code MSC3N) to ensure that the batch has a valid price assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Price Determination Settings:
  
  Review the price determination settings in the configuration (transaction code SPRO) to ensure that the system is set up to determine prices correctly for the material.
  
  
  
  Validate Condition Records:
  
  If applicable, check the condition records for pricing (transaction codes VK11, VK12, or VK13) to ensure that there are valid records for the material and that they are active.
  
  
  
  Run Costing:
  
  If you have made changes to the material master or batch data, try running the costing again (transaction code CK11N or CK40N) to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, as there may be specific configurations or issues in your system that need to be addressed.
