• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KK507 - No items carrying costs exist - graphic cannot be displayed ?

  The SAP error message KK507: No items carrying costs exist - graphic cannot be displayed typically occurs in the context of cost center accounting or internal order management when you are trying to display a graphical representation of costs, but there are no relevant cost items available for the selected period or criteria.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Cost Items: The primary reason for this error is that there are no cost items associated with the cost center or internal order for the specified period. This could be due to:
  
  No costs have been posted to the cost center or internal order.
  The selected period does not contain any relevant postings.
  The cost center or internal order is not active or has been closed.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to generate the report or graphic may not match any existing data. This could include incorrect fiscal year, period, or other filters.
  
  
  Data Availability: The data may not have been updated or posted correctly in the system, leading to a lack of available cost items.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Cost Items: Verify that there are indeed cost items posted to the cost center or internal order for the selected period. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., KSB1 for cost centers or KO03 for internal orders) and checking the postings.
  Ensuring that the correct fiscal year and period are selected.
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria used to generate the report or graphic are correct. Adjust the filters to include a broader range of data if necessary.
  
  
  Posting Data: If there are no cost items, you may need to post relevant costs to the cost center or internal order. This could involve:
  
  Posting actual costs through transactions like KB11N (manual postings) or using other relevant transactions for cost allocation.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: Ensure that the cost center or internal order is properly configured and active. If it has been closed or is inactive, you may need to reactivate it or select a different cost center or order.
  
  
  Data Refresh: If you have recently posted data, ensure that the data has been refreshed in the reporting tool you are using. Sometimes, it may take a moment for the system to reflect new postings.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KSB1 (Cost Centers: Actual Line Items), KOB1 (Orders: Actual Line Items), and KO03 (Display Order) to check postings.
  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 view the cost center or internal order data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the KK507 error and successfully display the desired graphical representation of costs.
