• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK773 - Process & does not exist for material & in plant & ?

  The SAP error message CK773 indicates that the system cannot find a specific process for a material in a given plant. This error typically occurs in the context of product costing, particularly when trying to perform a costing run or when accessing the cost estimate for a material.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Process: The process that is being referenced in the costing run does not exist for the specified material in the specified plant.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the material or the plant may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of the required process.
  Master Data Issues: The material master data may not be complete or may not include the necessary information for the costing process.
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the material or process, the system may be referencing an outdated or incorrect version.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Process Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CK11N (Create Cost Estimate) or CK40N (Costing Run) and verify if the process is defined for the material in the plant.
  Ensure that the process is correctly assigned in the routing or production version.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Use transaction code MM03 to display the material master and check the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, Costing, MRP) to ensure all necessary data is filled out.
  Ensure that the costing view is maintained for the material.
  
  
  
  Check Routing/Production Version:
  
  Verify that the routing for the material is correctly defined and that it includes the necessary operations and processes.
  Use transaction code CA03 to display the routing and check for any missing or incorrect entries.
  
  
  
  Update or Create Missing Processes:
  
  If the process is indeed missing, you may need to create it using transaction code C223 (Define Processes) or update the existing configuration to include the necessary details.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to product costing and process management for additional guidance.
