• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message K3026 - Material & in plant & can only be costed with quantity structure ?

  The SAP error message K3026 ("Material & in plant & can only be costed with quantity structure") typically occurs in the context of cost planning and controlling when you are trying to perform a cost estimate for a material that is set up in a way that requires a quantity structure for costing. This usually means that the material is configured to use a bill of materials (BOM) and routing, which are necessary for calculating costs based on the components and processes involved in production.
  Cause:
  
  Material Configuration: The material in question is likely configured as a "costing with quantity structure" material. This means it requires a BOM and routing to determine its costs.
  Missing BOM or Routing: If the BOM or routing is not maintained for the material, the system cannot perform the costing as required.
  Costing Variant Settings: The costing variant being used may not be set up to handle materials that require a quantity structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM and Routing:
  
  Ensure that a valid BOM is created for the material in the specified plant.
  Ensure that a valid routing is also created for the material.
  You can check this in the SAP system using transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM) and CA03 (Display Routing).
  
  
  
  Costing Variant Configuration:
  
  Verify that the costing variant you are using is configured to allow for costing with quantity structure. You can check this in the configuration settings for costing variants (transaction code OKKN).
  
  
  
  Cost Estimate:
  
  Once the BOM and routing are in place, you can attempt to re-run the cost estimate for the material using transaction code CK11N (Create Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure).
  
  
  
  Material Master Settings:
  
  Check the material master data to ensure that the costing type is set correctly. You can do this using transaction code MM03 (Display Material).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or the steps, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Costing Types: Understand the different costing types available in SAP and how they relate to materials.
  BOM and Routing: Familiarize yourself with how BOMs and routings are structured and maintained in SAP.
  Costing Variants: Learn about the different costing variants and their settings to ensure they align with your costing requirements.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the K3026 error and successfully perform the cost estimate for the material in question.
