• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KK731 - No cost estimate found for &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message KK731: No cost estimate found for &1 &2 typically occurs in the context of cost accounting and controlling when a user attempts to access or process a cost estimate for a material or an internal order that does not have a valid cost estimate available in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Cost Estimate: The primary reason for this error is that there is no cost estimate available for the specified object (e.g., material, internal order, etc.) in the system.
  Incorrect Object Type: The object type specified may not be valid or may not have been set up correctly in the system.
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used may not be configured properly or may not be applicable to the object in question.
  Data Not Updated: The cost estimate may not have been updated or created after changes were made to the material or order.
  Period Closing: If the period is closed, it may prevent the creation or access of cost estimates.
  
  Solution:
  
  Create a Cost Estimate: If a cost estimate does not exist, you will need to create one. This can be done using transaction codes like CK11N (Create Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure) or CK40N (Create Cost Estimate for Material).
  Check Object Configuration: Ensure that the object (material, internal order, etc.) is correctly configured and that it is set up to allow for cost estimates.
  Review Costing Variants: Verify that the costing variant being used is appropriate for the object and that it is configured correctly in the system.
  Update Data: If there have been recent changes to the material or order, ensure that the cost estimate is updated accordingly.
  Check Period Status: Ensure that the period is open for posting and that there are no restrictions preventing the creation of cost estimates.
