  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK727 - Lot size cannot be passed on in combination with mixed costing ?

    The SAP error message CK727, which states "Lot size cannot be passed on in combination with mixed costing," typically occurs in the context of product costing and inventory management. This error arises when there is an attempt to use a lot size that is incompatible with the mixed costing method in SAP.

    Cause:

    1. Mixed Costing Configuration: Mixed costing allows for the valuation of materials using different cost components (e.g., standard costs, moving average costs). If the lot size defined for a material does not align with the requirements of mixed costing, this error can occur.
    2. Lot Size Settings: The lot size settings in the material master or the costing variant may not be compatible with the mixed costing approach. For example, if the lot size is set to a fixed quantity that does not allow for the flexibility required by mixed costing, the error will be triggered.
    3. Costing Variant: The costing variant used may not be configured to handle the specific lot size or mixed costing scenario.

    Solution:

    1. Review Lot Size Settings: Check the lot size settings in the material master (transaction MM02) and ensure they are appropriate for mixed costing. You may need to adjust the lot size to a variable or appropriate type that supports mixed costing.
    2. Adjust Costing Variant: Review the costing variant settings (transaction OKKN) to ensure that it is configured to handle mixed costing and the specific lot size you are trying to use.
    3. Check Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly set up for mixed costing. This includes checking the valuation class, costing type, and any other relevant fields.
    4. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on configuring mixed costing and lot sizes.
    5. Testing: After making changes, perform a test run of the costing to ensure that the error does not reoccur.

    Related Information:

    • Mixed Costing: This is a method used in SAP to allow for the valuation of materials that may have different cost components. It is particularly useful for materials that are procured from different sources or have varying costs over time.
    • Lot Size: This refers to the quantity of material that is produced or procured in a single batch. In SAP, lot sizes can be defined in various ways (e.g., fixed, variable, minimum, maximum).
    • Costing Run: When performing a costing run (transaction CK40N), ensure that the parameters set align with the material's costing method and lot size.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
