• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK883 - Costing variant &1 has no cost component structure for auxiliary CCS ?

  The SAP error message CK883 indicates that the costing variant you are using does not have a defined cost component structure for the auxiliary Costing Component Structure (CCS). This typically occurs during the costing process when the system cannot find the necessary configuration to break down costs into their components.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The costing variant you are using is not configured with a cost component structure for auxiliary costs.
  Incorrect Costing Variant: The costing variant may not be appropriate for the type of cost estimate you are trying to perform.
  System Settings: There may be issues with the overall system settings or missing entries in the configuration tables.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Costing Variant Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OKKN (Costing Variants).
  Select the costing variant that is causing the issue.
  Ensure that a cost component structure is assigned to the costing variant for auxiliary costs.
  
  
  
  Assign Cost Component Structure:
  
  If there is no cost component structure assigned, you will need to create or assign one.
  You can do this by navigating to the cost component structure configuration (transaction code OKTZ) and ensuring that the appropriate structure is defined and linked to the costing variant.
  
  
  
  Review Cost Component Structure:
  
  Check if the cost component structure itself is correctly defined and includes all necessary components for auxiliary costs.
  Ensure that the structure is active and properly configured.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test costing run to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant for guidance on setting up costing variants and cost component structures.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Costing Variants: These are used in SAP to define how costs are calculated and displayed in cost estimates.
  Cost Component Structures: These structures break down costs into various components (e.g., material costs, labor costs, overheads) and are essential for detailed cost analysis.
  Auxiliary Costs: These are additional costs that may not be directly associated with the primary cost components but are still relevant for overall costing.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CK883 error and ensure that your costing variant is properly configured for auxiliary costs.
