What causes this issue?

You are attempting to
<DS:GLOS.3526B6E6AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>update</>
the results of one or more cost estimates to the material master. This
is not possible in the following cases:

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

No cost estimate matches the selection criteria
Updating the costing data would not change the data in the material
master because the data is identical.
To update the tax-based price or the commercial price, none of the
<DS:GLOS.3526B5D0AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>cost components</>
in the cost estimates for these valuations are relevant. The price
would become zero.
The tax-based price or the commercial price is updated according to the
<DS:GLOS.3526C08DAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>lowest value principle</>.
This happens when you set the indicator <ls>tax-based price or
commercial price</> in the
<DS:GLOS.3526B71FAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>costing type</>.
When the system updates the price, it checks whether the price
calculated represents the lowest price. If it does not, the price
calculated is not transferred to the material master.
When a planned price is updated using a
<DS:GLOS.3526B6A5AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>cost component view</>,
the cost components for the specified view have no values. The price
would become zero.
This material does not have a BOM. With such materials, you can only
update the material master's planned prices 1 to 3 and not the
tax-based prices or commercial prices. You must set the <LS>Planned
prices for material components also</> indicator.

System Response

No prices in the material master are updated.
