• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKBA055 - Material & costed without quantity structure ?

  The SAP error message CKBA055 ("Material & costed without quantity structure") typically occurs in the context of product costing when the system is unable to find a valid quantity structure for a material that is being costed. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and potential solutions is essential for resolving the issue.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Quantity Structure: The material in question does not have a defined quantity structure (e.g., BOM - Bill of Materials or routing) in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The material may not be properly configured for costing, or the necessary master data (like BOM or routing) is not maintained.
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant being used may not be set up to handle the material correctly.
  Material Type Restrictions: Certain material types may not allow for quantity structures or may require specific settings to be enabled.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the material has a valid BOM and routing defined. You can check this in the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  If the material is a finished product, ensure that it has a BOM that includes all components.
  
  
  
  Maintain BOM and Routing:
  
  If the BOM or routing is missing, create or update them using transaction codes CS01 (Create BOM) and CA01 (Create Routing).
  Ensure that the BOM is assigned to the correct plant and that the components are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Review Costing Variant:
  
  Check the costing variant settings in transaction code OKKN. Ensure that the costing variant is configured to include the necessary quantity structure.
  
  
  
  Material Type Configuration:
  
  Verify that the material type allows for the creation of a BOM and routing. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the material type settings are appropriate.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Costing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the costing process to see if the error persists.
