• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM097 - Cost estimate created for material & with version & in plant & ?

  The SAP error message RM097 indicates that a cost estimate has already been created for a specific material, version, and plant. This message typically arises when you attempt to create a new cost estimate for a material that already has an existing cost estimate in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Cost Estimate: The primary cause of this error is that a cost estimate for the specified material, version, and plant already exists in the system.
  Version Control: The version of the cost estimate you are trying to create may already be in use or locked.
  Plant-Specific Data: The error may also occur if the cost estimate is plant-specific and you are trying to create a new estimate for a plant where one already exists.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Cost Estimates: 
  
  Use transaction code CK13N (Display Material Cost Estimate) to check if a cost estimate already exists for the specified material, version, and plant.
  If an existing cost estimate is found, you may need to decide whether to use it or to modify it.
  
  
  
  Change Version: 
  
  If you need to create a new cost estimate, consider using a different version. You can specify a new version in the cost estimate creation transaction (CK40N).
  
  
  
  Delete or Mark for Deletion: 
  
  If the existing cost estimate is no longer needed, you can delete it or mark it for deletion using transaction CK14N (Delete Material Cost Estimate).
  
  
  
  Consult with Team: 
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of deleting or modifying cost estimates, consult with your finance or controlling team to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization: 
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify cost estimates in the system.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Cost Estimate Types: Understand the different types of cost estimates (e.g., standard cost estimates, planned cost estimates) and their purposes.
