How To Fix CK524 - Standardd cost estimate at material master anchor inconsistent

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CK - Product Costing Messages

• Message number: 524

• Message text: Standardd cost estimate at material master anchor inconsistent

What causes this issue?

The following was established within &v3&:
You are attempting to mark the standard cost estimate of material &v1&
in plant &v2& for a future posting period. The system has discovered
inconsistent data during this process.
The internal cost estimate number of this standard cost estimate is not
the same as the cost estimate number of the material.
The data inconsistency was probably caused by the number ranges being
manipulated or by inconsistent data transfer.
The data inconsistency affects the standard cost estimate that has
already been marked at an earlier time point (see future material
master anchor).

How to fix this error?

You can repair the data inconsistency as follows:
Create the costing segment again.
Carry out the standard cost estimate for the future posting period
again, and then mark this standard cost estimate for the future posting
period again.
If the costing segment cannot be created again because of updated data,
remove from the system the already-marked standard cost estimate (see
future material master anchor) whose internal costing number is
referencing an incorrect material (such as by
<DS:GLOS.reorganization>reorganizing</>). Then cost and mark as
described above.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK524 - Standardd cost estimate at material master anchor inconsistent ?

  The SAP error message CK524 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the standard cost estimate for a material in the material master. This error typically arises when the standard cost estimate does not match the expected values or when there are discrepancies in the data related to the cost estimate.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Data: The standard cost estimate may not be updated or may have been incorrectly entered, leading to discrepancies between the material master and the cost estimate.
  Missing Cost Estimate: The cost estimate for the material may not have been created or released properly.
  Changes in Master Data: Changes in the material master data (like BOM, routing, or other related data) that have not been reflected in the cost estimate can lead to this error.
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used may not be set up correctly or may not match the requirements for the material.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Cost Estimate: Verify the standard cost estimate for the material using transaction CK11N (Create Cost Estimate) or CK40N (Change Cost Estimate). Ensure that the cost estimate is valid and released.
  Update Material Master: If there are discrepancies, update the material master data to ensure it aligns with the cost estimate. You can use transaction MM02 to change the material master.
  Recreate Cost Estimate: If the cost estimate is missing or incorrect, recreate it using the appropriate costing variant and ensure it is released.
  Check for Changes: Review any recent changes made to the BOM, routing, or other related data that could affect the cost estimate. Make sure to re-run the cost estimate after any changes.
  Use CK24: You can use transaction CK24 to check the consistency of the cost estimates and material master data.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to this error for any specific guidance or patches that may be applicable.
