How To Fix KK712 - Total value of cost estimate changed. See error log

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KK -

• Message number: 712

• Message text: Total value of cost estimate changed. See error log

What causes this issue?

The base object explosion resulted in item quantities that are not
valid for the associated item unit of measure. In other words, an item
quantity has received more places after the decimal point than are
defined for its unit of measure.

System Response

The incorrect item quantities were rounded according the item unit of
measure. This resulted in different item values and therefore a
different total value for the cost estimate. The cost estimate was
completely recalculated using these new quantities.

This error indicates that there is a discrepancy between the expected total value of the cost estimate and the actual calculated value. Here are some potential causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Data Changes: Changes in master data (like material master, BOM, routing, etc.) after the cost estimate has been created can lead to discrepancies.
  Costing Variants: Incorrect or inconsistent settings in the costing variant can cause the total value to change unexpectedly.
  Currency Issues: If there are currency conversion issues or changes in exchange rates, this can affect the total value of the cost estimate.
  Cost Component Structure: Changes in the cost component structure or the way costs are allocated can lead to differences in the total value.
  Incomplete Data: Missing or incomplete data in the cost estimate can also trigger this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check the Error Log: The first step is to check the error log for more detailed information about what caused the discrepancy. This can provide insights into specific issues that need to be addressed.
  Review Master Data: Ensure that all relevant master data (material, BOM, routing) is accurate and up to date. Look for any recent changes that might have affected the cost estimate.
  Validate Costing Variant: Review the settings of the costing variant being used. Ensure that it is configured correctly and that all necessary parameters are set.
  Recalculate Cost Estimate: If changes have been made to the underlying data, it may be necessary to recalculate the cost estimate to reflect the current data accurately.
  Check Currency Settings: If currency conversion is involved, verify that the exchange rates are correct and that the currency settings are consistent across all relevant documents.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling cost estimate errors.

  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CK11N (Create Cost Estimate) or CK24 (Display Cost Estimate) to analyze and manage cost estimates.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide patches related to this error.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or modify cost estimates, as lack of permissions can sometimes lead to unexpected errors.
