How To Fix CK479 - Material & in plant & with individual requirements has no costing view

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CK - Product Costing Messages

• Message number: 479

• Message text: Material & in plant & with individual requirements has no costing view

What causes this issue?

An individual requirement is being generated for material &V1& in plant
&V2&. However, this material has no costing view in its master record,
nor was it possible to create a costing view (for example because the
material type does not allow this).

System Response

To cost material &V1&, the system uses the price based on the price
control specified in the material master. This may result in plan/actual
variances if material &V1& is an assembly (this is not checked for
materials that do not have a costing view).

How to fix this error?

Make sure that all individual requirements materials used in a sales
order item have a costing view, or that a costing view can be created.
