• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK812 - No cost estimate could be selected ?

  The SAP error message CK812 ("No cost estimate could be selected") typically occurs in the context of cost estimating in the SAP system, particularly when trying to create or display a cost estimate for a material. This error indicates that the system could not find a valid cost estimate for the specified material and plant combination.
  Causes of CK812 Error
  
  
  No Cost Estimate Exists: The most common reason is that there is no cost estimate available for the material in the specified plant and valuation area.
  
  
  Cost Estimate Not Released: The cost estimate may exist but has not been released. Only released cost estimates can be used for further processing.
  
  
  Incorrect Valuation Area: The valuation area specified may not match the one where the cost estimate is maintained.
  
  
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data may not be set up correctly, or the material may not be active in the specified plant.
  
  
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used may not be configured correctly or may not be applicable for the material.
  
  
  Date Issues: The date for which the cost estimate is being requested may be outside the validity period of the cost estimate.
  
  
  Solutions to CK812 Error
  
  
  Check for Existing Cost Estimates:
  
  Use transaction code CK13N (Display Cost Estimate) to check if a cost estimate exists for the material and plant combination.
  If no cost estimate exists, you will need to create one using transaction code CK11N (Create Cost Estimate).
  
  
  
  Release the Cost Estimate:
  
  If a cost estimate exists but is not released, you can release it using transaction code CK24 (Release Cost Estimate).
  
  
  
  Verify Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data to ensure that the material is active and correctly set up in the specified plant.
  
  
  
  Check Valuation Area:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct valuation area and that it matches the one where the cost estimate is maintained.
  
  
  
  Review Costing Variant:
  
  Verify that the costing variant used is appropriate for the material and is configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Validity Dates:
