  The SAP error message CKWB001 ("No cost estimate found (check your entry)") typically occurs in the context of cost accounting and product costing within the SAP system. This error indicates that the system could not find a cost estimate for the material or product you are trying to work with. Here are some common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Cost Estimate: The most common reason for this error is that there is no cost estimate available for the material or product in question. This could be due to the cost estimate not being created or not being valid for the period you are trying to access.
  
  
  Incorrect Material or Plant: The material number or plant specified in the transaction may be incorrect or not exist in the system.
  
  
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used may not be set up correctly, or it may not be applicable to the material.
  
  
  Costing Run Not Executed: If the costing run has not been executed for the relevant period, there will be no cost estimates available.
  
  
  Status of Cost Estimate: The cost estimate may be marked as inactive or not released.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Create or Update Cost Estimate:
  
  Check if a cost estimate exists for the material. If not, create a new cost estimate using transaction CK11N (Create Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure) or CK40N (Create Cost Estimate for Material).
  Ensure that the cost estimate is valid for the relevant period.
  
  
  
  Verify Material and Plant:
  
  Double-check the material number and plant in your entry to ensure they are correct.
  
  
  
  Check Costing Variant:
  
  Review the costing variant settings to ensure they are appropriate for the material and that they are configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Execute Costing Run:
  
  If necessary, execute the costing run using transaction CK40N or CK41N to generate the cost estimates for the relevant materials.
  
  
  
  Check Status of Cost Estimate:
