KK304
- Cost estimate & already exists ?The SAP error message KK304 ("Cost estimate & already exists") typically occurs when you attempt to create a new cost estimate for a material or product that already has an existing cost estimate in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to create a cost estimate for a material that has already been costed in the past or when you are trying to create a new version of a cost estimate without properly managing existing ones.
Cause:
- Existing Cost Estimate: The primary cause of this error is that a cost estimate for the specified material already exists in the system.
- Costing Version: You may be trying to create a cost estimate in a version that is already in use or has been finalized.
- Date Issues: The date of the new cost estimate may overlap with the validity period of an existing cost estimate.
- Costing Type: The costing type you are using may not allow for the creation of multiple estimates for the same material.
Solution:
Check Existing Cost Estimates: Use transaction code CK13N (Display Cost Estimate) to check if a cost estimate already exists for the material in question. If it does, you may need to modify or use the existing estimate instead of creating a new one.
Change Costing Version: If you need to create a new cost estimate, consider using a different costing version that does not conflict with existing estimates.
Delete or Archive Old Estimates: If the existing cost estimate is no longer needed, you can delete or archive it, provided you have the necessary permissions and it complies with your organization's policies.
Adjust Validity Dates: Ensure that the validity dates of the new cost estimate do not overlap with those of existing estimates.
Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines related to cost estimates in your organization.
Related Information:
If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in controlling (CO) and costing processes.
