• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KL017 - Actual prices do not exist for &/& ?

  The SAP error message KL017 ("Actual prices do not exist for &/&") typically occurs in the context of controlling and cost accounting, particularly when dealing with actual costing and the valuation of materials or production orders. This error indicates that the system cannot find actual prices for the specified material or cost object for the given period.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Actual Price Records: The actual prices for the specified material or cost object have not been recorded in the system for the specified period.
  Period Closing: The period for which you are trying to retrieve the actual prices may be closed, and thus the system cannot access the required data.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the costing variant or the valuation method being used.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, there may be missing or incomplete records for actual prices.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Actual Price Records: Verify if actual prices have been recorded for the specified material or cost object. You can do this by checking the material master or the cost object in the relevant transaction (e.g., CK13N for material price analysis).
  Open the Period: If the period is closed, you may need to open it for posting or check if the actual prices can be updated for that period.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the costing variant and valuation methods are correctly configured in the system. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team.
  Recalculate Actual Prices: If actual prices are missing, you may need to run the actual costing process to calculate and update the actual prices. This can typically be done using transaction CKMLCP (for actual costing).
  Check for Data Migration Issues: If this error occurred after a data migration, ensure that all necessary data was migrated correctly and that there are no missing records.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CK13N (Display Material Price), CKMLCP (Actual Costing), and CK40N (Cost Object Controlling).

  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on actual costing and material valuation for a deeper understanding of how actual prices are managed in the system.
