• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKPC004 - iPPE for material &1 in plant &2 has no costing relevant activities ?

  The SAP error message CKPC004 indicates that there are no costing relevant activities for a specific material in a particular plant when using the Integrated Product and Process Engineering (iPPE) module. This error typically arises during the costing process, particularly when trying to perform a cost estimate for a material that lacks the necessary configuration or data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Costing Relevant Activities: The material in question does not have any activities defined that are relevant for costing. This could be due to missing or incomplete data in the iPPE configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: The iPPE model may not be properly set up to include the necessary activities for costing.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master may not be correctly maintained, leading to missing links to costing activities.
  Plant-Specific Settings: The settings for the specific plant may not include the necessary activities or may not be activated for costing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check iPPE Configuration:
  
  Go to the iPPE model and verify that the necessary activities are defined for the material.
  Ensure that the activities are marked as costing relevant.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the specific material in the plant. Ensure that all relevant views (like Costing, Basic Data, etc.) are properly maintained.
  Make sure that the material is assigned to the correct valuation class and that the costing variant is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Define Costing Relevant Activities:
  
  If there are no costing relevant activities, you may need to define them in the iPPE model. This can involve creating or modifying existing activities to ensure they are included in the costing process.
  
  
  
  Check Plant-Specific Settings:
  
  Review the plant-specific settings to ensure that they are configured to allow for costing activities. This may involve checking the configuration in the controlling area and ensuring that the necessary settings are activated.
  
  
  
  Run Costing Again:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, attempt to run the costing process again to see if the error persists.
