  The SAP error message KP291, which states "Actual price determination with different source version and revaluation," typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and product costing. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the source version of the cost estimate and the version used for actual price determination, particularly when revaluation is involved.
  Cause:
  
  Version Mismatch: The error usually arises when the system attempts to determine the actual price for a material or cost object using a cost estimate that was created with a different version than the one currently being used for actual price determination.
  Revaluation Issues: If there are changes in the valuation of materials or cost objects, and these changes are not aligned with the source version, it can lead to this error.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the controlling area or material master data can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Cost Estimate Versions: Verify that the cost estimate version used for the actual price determination matches the version that was used for the source data. You can do this by checking the cost estimates in the system.
  Re-evaluate Cost Estimates: If there is a mismatch, you may need to re-evaluate the cost estimates to ensure they are consistent with the actual price determination process.
  Adjust Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the controlling area and ensure that they are set up correctly to avoid version mismatches.
  Use the Correct Version: When performing actual price determination, ensure that you are using the correct version that corresponds to the cost estimate.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific steps related to your version of SAP, as the process may vary slightly depending on the system configuration.

  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CK11N (Create Cost Estimate) and CK40N (Change Cost Estimate) to manage cost estimates.
