• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KK028 - No cost estimate exists for reference order & for & ?

  The SAP error message KK028 ("No cost estimate exists for reference order & for &") typically occurs in the context of cost accounting and controlling when you are trying to perform an operation that requires a cost estimate for a specific order or project, but the system cannot find a valid cost estimate for that reference order.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Cost Estimate: The most common cause is that a cost estimate has not been created for the specified order or project.
  Incorrect Order Reference: The order number or project number you are referencing may be incorrect or does not exist in the system.
  Cost Estimate Status: The cost estimate may exist but is not in a status that allows it to be used (e.g., it may be marked as obsolete or inactive).
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing master data or configuration settings that prevent the cost estimate from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a Cost Estimate: If no cost estimate exists, you will need to create one for the specified order or project. This can typically be done using transaction codes like CK11N (Create Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure) or CK40N (Create Cost Estimate for Production Orders).
  
  
  Check Order Reference: Verify that the order number or project number you are using is correct. You can do this by checking the order in the system to ensure it exists and is active.
  
  
  Review Cost Estimate Status: If a cost estimate exists, check its status. You can do this by using transaction CK13N (Display Cost Estimate) to see if it is marked as valid and active.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Ensure that all necessary master data (like material master, routing, and bill of materials) is correctly set up and that there are no missing links that could prevent the cost estimate from being recognized.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process of creating or managing cost estimates, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CK11N, CK40N, CK13N, and others related to cost estimation and controlling.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or view cost estimates in the system.
  Training and Support: If you are new to SAP Controlling (CO) or cost estimation processes, consider seeking training or support from experienced colleagues or SAP consultants.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the KK028 error and successfully work with cost estimates in SAP.
