• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KK180 - Cost ests for co-products not allowed as reference -> no copy ?

  The SAP error message KK180 ("Cost estimates for co-products not allowed as reference -> no copy") typically occurs in the context of cost estimating for co-products in SAP Controlling (CO). This error indicates that the system is unable to copy cost estimates for co-products due to certain restrictions or configurations.
  Cause:
  
  
  Co-Product Configuration: The error often arises when the system is configured in a way that does not allow cost estimates for co-products to be referenced or copied. This can happen if the co-products are not set up correctly in the material master or if the costing variant does not support co-products.
  
  
  Costing Variant Settings: The costing variant used may not be configured to handle co-products. This includes settings related to how costs are calculated and whether co-products are allowed in the costing process.
  
  
  Costing Type: The type of costing being performed (e.g., standard costing, actual costing) may not support the copying of cost estimates for co-products.
  
  
  Material Master Data: The material master data for the co-products may not be complete or correctly maintained, leading to issues when attempting to copy cost estimates.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Co-Product Configuration: Ensure that the co-products are correctly configured in the material master. This includes checking the settings in the "Costing" view of the material master for each co-product.
  
  
  Review Costing Variant: Verify the settings of the costing variant being used. Ensure that it is configured to allow for co-products. You may need to consult with your SAP CO configuration team to adjust the settings accordingly.
  
  
  Costing Type Review: Make sure that the costing type you are using supports co-products. If necessary, switch to a different costing type that allows for the copying of cost estimates for co-products.
  
  
  Material Master Data Maintenance: Review and complete the material master data for the co-products. Ensure that all necessary fields are filled out and that the data is consistent.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling co-products in cost estimates. This may provide additional insights into configuration settings or best practices.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, perform a test to see if the error persists. If it does, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on co-products and cost estimates.
