• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK897 - Cost component &1 has no fixed costs ?

  The SAP error message CK897 indicates that there are no fixed costs associated with a specific cost component in the context of cost planning or cost calculation. This error typically arises during the execution of cost estimates or when trying to analyze costs in the Controlling (CO) module, particularly in Product Costing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Fixed Costs: The cost component specified in the error message does not have any fixed costs defined in the system. This could be due to incorrect configuration or missing data in the cost component structure.
  Cost Component Structure: The cost component structure may not be set up correctly, or the relevant cost elements may not be assigned to the cost component.
  Costing Variant Configuration: The costing variant used for the calculation may not be configured to include fixed costs for the specified cost component.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data related to the materials or production processes that are being costed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Cost Component Structure:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the cost component structure (Transaction code: OKTZ).
  Verify that the cost component in question is correctly defined and that it has fixed costs assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Cost Elements:
  
  Ensure that the relevant cost elements are assigned to the cost component. You can check this in the cost element master data (Transaction code: KA03).
  
  
  
  Adjust Costing Variant:
  
  Review the costing variant settings (Transaction code: OKKN) to ensure that it includes fixed costs for the relevant cost components.
  Make adjustments as necessary to include fixed costs in the calculation.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Review the material master data (Transaction code: MM03) to ensure that all relevant cost-related information is correctly maintained.
  Check the production version and routing to ensure that all necessary cost components are accounted for.
  
  
  
  Run Cost Estimate Again:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, try running the cost estimate again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Cost Component Structure: This is a key configuration in SAP that defines how costs are broken down into various components (e.g., material costs, labor costs, overhead costs).
  Costing Variants: These are used to control how cost estimates are calculated, including which cost components are included and how they are treated.
  Cost Elements: These are the building blocks of cost accounting in SAP, representing the various types of costs incurred by the organization.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP CO consultant or refer to SAP support for further assistance.
