• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKBA067 - Material & in plant & is not a process material for co-product & ?

  The SAP error message CKBA067 indicates that a specific material in a given plant is not recognized as a process material for a co-product. This error typically arises in the context of product costing, particularly when dealing with co-products in a production process.
  Cause:
  
  Material Configuration: The material in question may not be configured correctly in the system. It might not be set up as a process material in the material master data.
  Co-Product Definition: The co-product may not be properly defined in the production process or routing. The system expects certain materials to be defined as process materials for the co-product to be valid.
  Plant-Specific Settings: The settings for the specific plant may not include the material as a valid process material for the co-product.
  Missing Master Data: There may be missing or incomplete master data related to the material or the co-product.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and verify that the material is set up correctly. Ensure that it is marked as a process material in the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, Costing).
  
  
  
  Review Co-Product Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the co-product in the production process. Ensure that the co-product is correctly defined in the routing and that all necessary materials are included.
  
  
  
  Validate Plant Settings:
  
  Ensure that the plant settings allow for the material to be used as a process material for the co-product. This may involve checking the configuration in the controlling area and the plant-specific settings.
  
  
  
  Update Master Data:
  
  If the material is not set up as a process material, you may need to update the material master data to include it as a valid process material for the co-product.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on configuring materials and co-products.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test run to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the costing process works as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address the issue.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate authorizations to make changes to material master data and co-product configurations.
