• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KN059 - No cost estimate found ?

  The SAP error message KN059 ("No cost estimate found") typically occurs in the context of material master data or when trying to perform a transaction related to cost estimates in SAP. This error indicates that the system could not find a cost estimate for the specified material or product.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Cost Estimate: The most common cause is that a cost estimate has not been created for the material in question.
  Incorrect Valuation Class: The valuation class assigned to the material may not be set up correctly, leading to issues in finding the cost estimate.
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used may not be configured properly or may not be applicable to the material.
  Material Status: The material may be in a status that prevents cost estimates from being generated or accessed.
  Plant-Specific Issues: The cost estimate may not exist for the specific plant or location where the transaction is being executed.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Create a Cost Estimate: If no cost estimate exists, you 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 Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is complete and correctly configured, including the valuation class and other relevant fields.
  Review Costing Variants: Verify that the costing variant being used is appropriate for the material and that it is properly configured in the system.
  Check Material Status: Ensure that the material is not blocked or in a status that would prevent cost estimates from being accessed.
  Plant-Specific Cost Estimates: If the material is plant-specific, ensure that a cost estimate exists for the specific plant you are working with.
