  The SAP error message CK633 indicates that there is no cost apportionment schema maintained for a specific process material in a particular plant. This error typically arises during the costing process, particularly when trying to perform a cost estimate for a material that requires a cost apportionment schema but does not have one defined.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Cost Apportionment Schema: The primary cause of this error is that the system does not have a cost apportionment schema defined for the material in question, or it is not assigned to the relevant plant.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may not be correctly set up, leading to the absence of the necessary configuration for cost apportionment.
  Plant-Specific Settings: The settings for the specific plant may not have been configured to include the required cost apportionment schema.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CK633 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Cost Apportionment Schema:
  
  Go to the transaction code OKTZ (Costing Variants) and check if a cost apportionment schema is defined for the relevant costing variant.
  If it is not defined, you will need to create or assign a cost apportionment schema.
  
  
  
  Maintain Material Master Data:
  
  Use transaction code MM02 to edit the material master data.
  Navigate to the Costing 1 view and ensure that the cost apportionment schema is assigned correctly for the relevant plant.
  
  
  
  Assign Cost Apportionment Schema:
  
  If the schema is missing, you can assign it by going to the configuration settings in the SAP system.
  Use transaction code SPRO to access the configuration menu, and navigate to:
  
  Controlling -> Product Cost Controlling -> Cost Object Controlling -> Maintain Cost Apportionment Schema.
  
  
  Here, you can create or modify the cost apportionment schema as needed.
  
  
  
  Check Plant Settings:
  
  Ensure that the plant settings are correctly configured to use the cost apportionment schema. This may involve checking the configuration for the specific plant in the controlling area.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to perform the cost estimate again to see if the error persists.
