• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KEIX026 - &1, version &2: unit costing already exists ?

  The SAP error message KEIX026 indicates that a unit costing already exists for the specified version of the cost estimate. This typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and product costing (CK) modules when you attempt to create or change a cost estimate that conflicts with an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Cost Estimate: The error arises when you try to create a new cost estimate for a material or product that already has a cost estimate defined for the same version.
  Version Conflict: The version you are trying to use is already in use for another cost estimate, which prevents the creation of a new one.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration settings that are not allowing the creation of a new cost estimate in the specified version.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Cost Estimates: 
  
  Use transaction code CK13N (Display Cost Estimate) to check if a cost estimate already exists for the material and version you are trying to use.
  If a cost estimate exists, you may need to either use that existing estimate or delete it if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Change Version: 
  
  If you need to create a new cost estimate, consider using a different version that does not have an existing cost estimate.
  
  
  
  Delete Existing Cost Estimate: 
  
  If the existing cost estimate is not required, you can delete it using transaction code CK02 (Change Cost Estimate) or CK24 (Delete Cost Estimate).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to cost estimates and versions to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  If you believe this is an error, check with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings for cost estimates and versions are correctly configured.
