• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LB074 - Change in price estimated at standard costs (neutral) from & & to & & ?

  The SAP error message LB074 indicates that there has been a change in the price estimated at standard costs, which is considered "neutral." This typically occurs in the context of inventory management and cost accounting when there is a discrepancy between the expected standard cost and the actual cost of materials or products.
  Cause:
  
  Standard Cost Change: The standard cost of a material has been changed, which can happen due to various reasons such as changes in supplier pricing, production costs, or overhead costs.
  Price Variance: The system detects a variance between the standard cost and the actual cost during a goods movement or inventory valuation.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the material master data or the costing variant settings.
  Posting Period Issues: The posting period may be closed, preventing the system from processing the change correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Standard Costs: Check the standard cost of the material in the material master (transaction code MM03) and ensure it is set correctly.
  Adjust Costing Variants: If necessary, adjust the costing variant settings in the configuration (transaction code OKKN) to ensure they align with your business processes.
  Re-evaluate Price Changes: If the price change is valid, ensure that it is properly reflected in the system. You may need to run a cost estimate (transaction code CK11N) to update the standard costs.
  Check Posting Period: Ensure that the posting period is open for the transactions you are trying to process. If it is closed, you may need to open it or post the transaction in a different period.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your configuration and business processes.
