  Error Message
  VH115: Costing sheet & does not exist
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or use a costing sheet that has not been created or maintained in the system. The costing sheet is a key element in SAP Product Costing and is used to determine how overhead costs are applied during cost calculation.
  Common causes include:
  
  The costing sheet number referenced in the costing variant or costing run does not exist.
  The costing sheet was deleted or not transported to the current system.
  Incorrect configuration or master data referencing a non-existent costing sheet.
  Typographical error in the costing sheet number during configuration or master data maintenance.
  
  
  Explanation
  A costing sheet in SAP defines the overhead calculation rules, such as percentages or fixed amounts, and how these overheads are applied to the cost estimate. If the system cannot find the costing sheet specified in the costing variant or costing run, it throws this error.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Costing Sheet Existence:
  
  Go to transaction KSH1 (Create Costing Sheet) or KSH2 (Change Costing Sheet) or KSH3 (Display Costing Sheet).
  Enter the costing sheet number mentioned in the error message.
  If it does not exist, you need to create it or correct the reference.
  
  
  
  Verify Costing Variant Configuration:
  
  Use transaction OKKN to check the costing variant.
  Verify the costing sheet assigned to the costing variant.
  Correct the costing sheet number if it is wrong or assign an existing costing sheet.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data and Costing Run Settings:
  
  Ensure that the costing sheet number used in the costing run or master data (e.g., material costing views) is correct.
  Correct any incorrect entries.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the costing sheet exists in the development system but not in the production system, ensure it is transported properly.
  Check transport logs and import the costing sheet if missing.
  
  
  
  Re-run Costing:
  
  After correcting the costing sheet reference or creating the costing sheet, re-run the costing process.
