  The SAP error message CK623 "No cost estimate found" typically occurs in the context of cost accounting and product costing when the system is unable to find a valid cost estimate for a material or product. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.

  Costing Type: The costing type may not be set up correctly, or the cost estimate may not be marked as "active."
