  The SAP error message KK736: No base planning objects selected for explosion typically occurs in the context of product costing or planning in SAP, particularly when using the costing variant or during the planning process in the Controlling (CO) module. This error indicates that the system could not find any base planning objects (like cost estimates, production orders, or other relevant objects) to process for the explosion of costs.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Base Planning Objects: The most common cause is that there are no valid base planning objects available for the selected criteria. This could be due to incorrect selection criteria or filters applied during the planning process.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the costing variant or planning layout may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not being able to identify the relevant objects.
  
  
  Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data or transaction data, such as missing or incomplete records that are required for the planning process.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the required planning objects.
