  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used may not be set up correctly, or it may not be applicable for the material or the transaction being processed.
  
  
  Costing Run Not Executed: If a costing run has not been executed for the relevant period, there will be no valid cost estimates available.
  
  
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data may not be properly maintained, leading to missing or incorrect costing information.
  
  
  Valuation Area Configuration: The valuation area may not be configured correctly, or the material may not be assigned to the correct valuation area.
