How To Fix CK735 - No cost estimate found for procurement alternative

CK735 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CK - Product Costing Messages

• Message number: 735

• Message text: No cost estimate found for procurement alternative

What causes this issue?

For material/plant &v1&, no cost estimate could be found for the
<DS:GLOS.352A616EC1035CD5E10000009B38F974>procurement alternative</>
with BOM &v2& and routing &v3&.
There are various possible causes for this, as follows:
You have not created a procurement alternative for
<DS:GLOS.3526C3F9AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>BOM</> &V2& and
<DS:GLOS.3528EE4BEB4D21BCE10000009B38F984>routing</> &V2&.
Example:
At the beginning of the year, you create a
<DS:GLOS.3526B72EAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>mixed cost estimate</> with
procurement alternatives A und B. Procurement alternative A includes
BOM 1 and routing 1, while procurement alternative B includes BOM 2 and
routing 2. During the fiscal year, you enter BOM 3 and routing 3, for
which you create a <DS:GLOS.3526B6F2AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>product
cost collector</>. When calculating actual costs at period-end closing
in Cost Object Controlling, the system attempts to access the cost
estimate for the procurement alternative. However, there is no
procurement alternative containing BOM 3 and routing 3.
A cost estimate was not created for BOM &V2& and routing &V3&. The
reason for this is that the lot size range entered in the
<DS:GLOS.3526C3FAAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>alternative BOM</> does not
agree with the lot size entered in the procurement alternative.
Example:
The ratio between procurement alternative A and procurement alternative
B in a mixed cost estimate for material X should be 1:9.
Procurement alternative A contains
<DS:GLOS.3526C404AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>BOM usage</> 1, alternative
BOM 1, <DS:GLOS.3526C3C6AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>task list type</> N,
<DS:GLOS.3526C3C2AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>task list group</> 1, and
<DS:GLOS.3526BEB7AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>group counter</> 1.
A lot size range of 100 - 1000 has been entered for alternative BOM 1.
No lot size has been entered in the procurement alternative.
Procurement alternative B contains BOM usage 2, alternative BOM 2, task
list type N, task list group 2, and group counter 1.
A lot size range of 1 - 100 has been entered for alternative BOM 2. No
lot size has been entered in the procurement alternative.
You create a mixed cost estimate for the material with a lot size of 1.
The system costs routing 2 / BOM 2. Routing 1, BOM 1 is not costed,
because the lot size range of the BOM usage does not correspond to the
costing lot size of the procurement alternative. Procurement
alternative A has a cost estimate for BOM 2 and routing 2, and no cost
estimate for BOM 1 and routing 1.
This would also occur if a lot size of 500 were entered in procurement
alternative A, and the costing lot size of the procurement alternative
were 100.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check to see whether a cost estimate already exists for the procurement
alternative.
Check the lot sizes in the alternative BOM and in the procurement
alternative.
If necessary, create a procurement alternative and/or a cost estimate
for the procurement alternative.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK735 - No cost estimate found for procurement alternative ?

  The SAP error message CK735 "No cost estimate found for procurement alternative" typically occurs in the context of cost estimation for materials in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system could not find a valid cost estimate for the specified procurement alternative of a material.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Cost Estimate: The most common cause is that there is no cost estimate created for the material in the specified valuation area or plant.
  Incorrect Procurement Alternative: The procurement alternative specified may not be valid or may not have an associated cost estimate.
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used may not be set up correctly or may not be applicable for the material.
  Valuation Class Issues: The valuation class assigned to the material may not have a corresponding cost estimate.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data related to the material, such as missing or incorrect information in the material master or BOM
