  The SAP error message CKMLWIP907 ("Cost estimate number could not be determined") typically occurs in the context of Material Ledger and Inventory Management when the system is unable to find a valid cost estimate for a material during a transaction. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Cost Estimate: The cost estimate for the material in question may not have been created or may not be valid for the period in which the transaction is being processed.
