  The SAP error message V1549, which states "Cost estimate has not yet been created," typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or production planning (PP) when a user attempts to perform an action that requires a cost estimate for a material or product, but no cost estimate has been created for that item.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Cost Estimate: The primary reason for this error is that a cost estimate has not been created for the material in question. This can happen if the cost estimate process has not been executed or if the cost estimate was not saved properly.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of a cost estimate.
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used may not be configured correctly, or the necessary settings for cost estimation may be missing.
  Period Lock: The period for which the cost estimate is required may be locked, preventing the creation of new cost estimates.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a Cost Estimate:
  
  Navigate to the transaction code CK11N (Create Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure) or CK40N (Create Cost Estimate for Material).
