  The SAP error message KX183 typically relates to issues with the costing or pricing of materials in the SAP system, particularly in the context of controlling (CO) and profitability analysis (CO-PA). The specific message "KX183 - Not found" usually indicates that the system is unable to find a specific cost estimate or pricing condition that it expects to be present.
  Possible Causes:

  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration settings in the controlling module or the material master data.

  Check Cost Estimates: Verify if the cost estimate for the relevant material or product exists. You can do this by navigating to the cost estimate transaction (e.g., CK11N for creating a cost estimate).
  Review Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is complete and correctly configured. Check the accounting views for any missing information.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks in the system to identify any discrepancies in the data. This can often be done through transaction codes like CKMLCP (for material ledger) or CKR1 (for cost estimate).
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the required data. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the user profile.
  Consult with IT Support: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP support team or IT department to investigate further, especially if it involves configuration or system settings.
