• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KPN024 - Material component &1 is not costing relevant ?

  The SAP error message KPN024 indicates that a specific material component is not relevant for costing in the context of a production order or a cost estimate. This typically occurs when the material is not set up correctly in the system to be included in cost calculations.
  Cause:
  
  Material Master Settings: The material in question may not have the appropriate costing views set up in the material master. This can happen if the material is marked as a non-costing material or if the costing type is not defined.
  Costing Variant: The costing variant being used may not include the material or may have settings that exclude certain materials from costing.
  Item Category: The item category of the material in the BOM (Bill of Materials) or routing may not be set to allow for costing.

  Valuation Class:
