  The SAP error message KE349 indicates that there is an issue with the valuation of a product during the material cost estimate process. This error typically arises in the context of controlling (CO) and product costing modules when the system encounters a problem with the product specified in the error message.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Missing Master Data: The material master data for the product may be incomplete or missing. This includes missing cost estimates, valuation classes, or other relevant data.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the controlling area, such as incorrect settings for cost centers, internal orders, or product costing variants.
  
  
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used for the material cost estimate may not be properly defined or may not have the necessary settings.
  
  
  Material Status: The material may have a status that prevents it from being included in the cost estimate, such as being marked as inactive or blocked.
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the product, such as discrepancies between the material master and the cost estimate.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KE349 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
