• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK892 - Wrong indicator "Material with/without BOM" ?

  The SAP error message CK892, which states "Wrong indicator 'Material with/without BOM'," typically occurs during the process of material valuation or when trying to perform a cost estimate for a material that is expected to have a Bill of Materials (BOM) but does not have one defined, or vice versa.
  Cause:
  
  Material Master Configuration: The material in question may be incorrectly configured in the material master. Specifically, the indicator for whether the material should have a BOM may not match the actual data.
  Costing Variant Settings: The costing variant used for the cost estimate may not be set up correctly to handle materials with or without BOMs.
  Missing BOM: The material may be expected to have a BOM for the costing process, but no BOM has been created for that material.
  Incorrect Costing Type: The costing type being used may not be appropriate for the material type or its configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the "Basic Data" and "Costing" views to ensure that the indicators for BOM usage are set correctly.
  Ensure that the material type is appropriate for the intended use (e.g., raw material, finished product).
  
  
  
  Verify BOM Existence:
  
  Use transaction code CS03 to check if a BOM exists for the material. If it does not exist and is required, create a BOM using transaction code CS01.
  
  
  
  Review Costing Variant:
  
  Check the costing variant settings (transaction code OKKN) to ensure that it is configured to handle materials with or without BOMs as needed.
  
  
  
  Adjust Costing Type:
  
  Ensure that the costing type being used is appropriate for the material. You may need to adjust the costing type settings in the configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations related to your organization's setup.
