  The SAP error message TBLP053 indicates that there is no production lot costing available for the specified Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element, material, and plant. This error typically arises in the context of production order processing, especially when trying to perform cost calculations or when attempting to settle costs related to production orders.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Costing Data: The primary cause of this error is that the system cannot find any costing data for the specified combination of WBS element, material, and plant. This could be due to:
  
  The production lot has not been created or is not properly linked to the WBS element.
  The costing information has not been maintained for the material in the specified plant.
  The WBS element may not be correctly set up to handle production costs.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the proper assignment of costs to the WBS element.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the master data, such as the material master or WBS element settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Production Lot: Ensure that a production lot exists for the specified WBS element and material. If it does not exist, you may need to create it.
  
  
  Maintain Costing Data:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the costing views for the material in the specified plant. Ensure that the costing data is maintained.
  If necessary, perform a costing run (transaction code CK11N) to generate the costing data for the material.
  
  
  
  Verify WBS Element Settings: Check the configuration of the WBS element to ensure it is set up to handle production costs. You can do this using transaction code CJ20N to view the WBS element.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to production costing and WBS elements in the SAP system. This may involve checking the controlling area settings and ensuring that the necessary settings for cost allocation are in place.
  
  
  Run Costing Reports: Use costing reports (such as S_ALR_87013611) to analyze the costing data and identify any discrepancies.
