• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KPN013 - There is no unit costing for the material component selected ?

  The SAP error message KPN013, which states "There is no unit costing for the material component selected," typically occurs in the context of product costing or when trying to perform a cost estimate for a material that does not have a defined cost in the system. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Missing Costing Data: The material component selected does not have any costing data maintained in the system. This could be due to the material not being set up for costing or the costing data not being updated.
  Incorrect Valuation Class: The valuation class assigned to the material may not be configured correctly, leading to the absence of costing information.
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant being used may not be set up to include the material or may not be configured correctly.
  Material Status: The material may be in a status that prevents costing, such as being marked as inactive or blocked.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Material Master: 
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check if the costing view is maintained. Ensure that the material has a valid cost estimate.
  If the costing view is missing, you may need to create or update it.
  
  
  
  Maintain Costing Data:
  
  Use transaction code CK11N to create a cost estimate for the material. Ensure that all necessary components and their costs are included.
  If the material is new, you may need to run a cost estimate to generate the costing data.
  
  
  
  Review Valuation Class:
  
  Check the valuation class assigned to the material in the material master. Ensure it is correctly set up in the configuration (transaction code OMWB) to allow for costing.
  
  
  
  Check Costing Variant:
  
  Review the costing variant settings (transaction code OKKN) to ensure that it includes the necessary parameters for the material in question.
  
  
  
  Material Status:
  
  Verify the status of the material. If it is blocked or inactive, you may need to change its status to allow for costing.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance/Controlling Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the costing setup or if there are specific configurations required, consult with your finance or controlling team for assistance.
