• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RESCAL001 - No costs found in period entered ?

  The SAP error message RESCAL001: No costs found in period entered typically occurs when you are trying to execute a report or transaction that requires cost data for a specific period, but the system cannot find any relevant cost entries for that timeframe. This can happen in various modules, such as Controlling (CO) or Project System (PS).
  Causes:
  
  No Cost Entries: There are simply no cost entries recorded in the specified period for the selected cost object (e.g., cost center, internal order, project).
  Incorrect Period: The period you are trying to access may not have been opened for posting, or it may be a future period where costs have not yet been recorded.
  Data Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the report or transaction may be too restrictive, leading to no results being returned.
  Posting Errors: Costs may have been posted incorrectly or to the wrong cost object, leading to the absence of expected data.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, users may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain cost data.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Cost Entries: Verify if there are any cost entries for the specified period. You can do this by checking the relevant cost object (e.g., cost center, internal order) in the appropriate transaction (e.g., KSB1 for cost centers).
  Adjust the Period: Ensure that you are selecting the correct period. If you are looking for costs in a closed period, you may need to open it for posting or adjust your selection to a period where costs are recorded.
  Review Selection Criteria: Reassess the selection criteria used in the report or transaction. Make sure they are not overly restrictive and that you are including all relevant cost objects.
  Check Posting Status: Investigate if there were any posting errors or if costs were posted to the wrong cost object. You can use transaction codes like KSB1 or CJI3 to review postings.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you suspect authorization issues or need further assistance, consult with your finance or SAP support team to ensure you have the necessary access and to troubleshoot any underlying issues.
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or user manuals for the specific module you are working with to understand how costs are recorded and reported.
