CK24 Cost Estimate Release Log wrong message variables returned.

We are testing our upgrade to ECC 6.04 from 4.7. I've created a cost estimate via CK11N. I then use CK24 to mark and release the cost estimate. At the completion of the release, a log is returned with the correct price change document and the correct number of materials and cost estimates updated. I then select the green arrow to go back a screen. It then shows an ALV grid with the new cost estimate std cost, price unit, and price change document. If I select the log icon from this screen, it shows me a price change document that is several months old and the associated number of materials and cost estimates updated. If I go back to CK24 screen and select log, it also will return this several month old document. Has anyone else experienced this inconsistancy and know how to resolve?

Seems like a system issue where the document though generated as not been updated. Looks like upgradation related issue.

Material Cost Estimate - Release too early

Hi,
I ran the cost estimate for one material on 12.06.2008 and i released the cost estimate. Here it is saying 'Cost Estimate released too early'. I thought system is releasing the cost for material for the next month. but i want to update the material cost for this month only.
And how many days before you have to run the cost estimate for the new month.
sateesh

Hi Sateesh,
Please check the period which you have mentioned in CK24.
I think the period you have given is of next month. Hence system is giving that message as next month's period may not have been opened.
System allows to release cost estimate only once in a period. Normal practice is to carry out cost run at the end of the month.
Please do let me know if your problem is solved.

Can we use two costing variants for standards cost estimate release.

Hi,
We have 2 plants (plant 5100 and plant 5200) under company code 5000.
We have run standard cost estimate(CK11N) for material 98001000027 at plant 5100 using costing variant ZG01 and at plant 5200 using costing variant ZG02. First, we released standard cost estimate (CK24) for this materia at plant 5100 and set (in marking allowance) costing variant ZG01 and costing version 01. Next time when we are trying to release the standard cost estimate for the same material for plant 5200, it is automatically picking ZG01 as costing variant in marking allowance and it is not allowing to change the costing variant to ZG02 saying Company code 5000: Release already carried out, cancellation not possible, Message no. CK797.
Is it possible to use two different costing variants for release of standard cost estimate for a material at two different plants at the same company code? If so how?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Bijay

Hi,
Thanks for your reply again.
What is the benefit of assigning "Single Valuation Variant same to different Plants" ? In costing variant also we can assign maximum only one valuation variant and this valuation variant will default for all the plants, and hence I dont think it is necessary to assign same valuation variant to different plants.
My issue is :
Example: ( Standard Cost Estimate for material 98001000027)
Plant - 1
Material Cost                                             Rs.100
Labour Cost                                               Rs.50
Overheads (10% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.5
(say ,through costing sheet - 1)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.155
Plant - 2
Material Cost                                             Rs.150
Labour Cost                                               Rs.100
Overheads (20% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.20
(say, through costing sheet - 2)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.270
Now, Please explain why we cannot have two Standard Cost Estimates for a material at two different plants? If it is possible to have two standard cost estimates for a material at two different plants, how to take care of overheads (rate of which varies) at two different plants (plant - 1 > 10% and plant- 2>20%) as we can assign maximum one costing sheet to a valuation variant variant?
How to map the system so as to meet the above requirement?
Thanks,
Bijay

CK40N - Cost estimates with errors - Error message roll-up

Good morning,
i need to roll-up error messages from components to top-level codes.
Now if a component is costed with errors (status KF) it happens that its top-level code is costed without errors (status KA).
We lose time using CS15 to check components usage in order to re-calculate all top-level codes after the error correction.
In OKKN in tab Qty Struct. there is a checkbox to be flagged in order to roll-up error messages from components to top-level codes. It's called "Transfer Active Std Cost Est. if Mat. Costed w/Errors".
I selected the flag but the system works as before: no roll-up of error messages.
Does anybody have suggestions?
Thanks,
Regards
Enrico

Hi,
There seems to be some problem with your system , as standard SAP behaviour is that , if a component is costed with error , higher level material also get KF status . i have experience this feature on my project .
If you check F1 documentation of field , "Trasfer act std cost if mat costed with error" ., the same have been mentioned.
If you activate , this check box , then system will automcatically transfer existing std cost , if they it receive KF status in costing run.
therefore , you should remove this check box from costing variant , and still higher material does not get KF status , search for any oss notes or raise a message .

Material cost estimate can't be released

Hello Experts
I've already handled with necessary steps including CK11N (create cost estimate), CK24(Mark and release), but it failed to be released although the cost estimate has been updated into 'Future' sheet in material master. It seems like the issue resulted during cost estimate creation, there is message existing in log. the message is described as 'No structure could be determined for internal activity ATL-00(CC530-00)'.
Could anyone please kindly advise me which customizing is needed to be done to solve this issue?
B.R.
Nicole

Hi,
Please check whether this activity costs have been assigned to the cost component structure in 'OKTZ'.
Good Luck!!!
Thanks and Regards,

KE380 for finished good with released cost estimate

Dear Gurus,
We have following error.
No product costing estimate could be found
Message no. KE380
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to find a product cost estimate for product 20010412 in plant FA03 that uses costing variant LG01.
The system looked for the cost estimate using costing key LG1 as defined in the CO-PA Customizing
settings.
System Response
No estimate could be found.
Procedure
Check the settings for valuation using product costing. If necessary, create a product cost estimate for this product.
The thing is this error occurs for materials with released cost estimate.
Before we had error ke350 for all materials considering DIEN and ROH.
After supressing the error in kepc we can release invoices with DIEN and ROH materials.
But we got another ke380.
How can we solve this issue?
With best regards,
Kamila.

Hi,
This type of errror is usual if costing based COPA is active and you are using Costing key to valuate the inventory using the Standard cost estimation.
When the costing key is been configured in COPA to access the standard cost estimation and is accordingly assigned to material types, then when the billing is released to accounting system tries to find out the SCE in the material master to pass the COGM to COPA. If it doesnt find the same, it will throw the error.
Hence, run SCE and update your material master.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Kumar

Cost estimate for sales order

Dear Friends,
In a make to stock scenario a finished good is sold from the depot and thereafter it is returned. After creating the credit memo for return, when the same is being released to accounting in VF02, the system throws an error message which reads 'Error reading the material cost estimate for sales order "12000373". and the document cannot be passed on to accounting. Although, we are able to release the sales invoice to accounting without any error. In the item condition tab for sales order the standard cost VPRS is updated as we enter the plant.
Strategy group for the material is 40-planning with final assembly. The concern over here is that why the system is asking for cost estimate at the level of sales return.
Please suggest why this error is coming and how the same can be released to accounting.
Regards

Hello Friend,
The problem is that Material you are using for that Cost Estimate is not done. So go to T.Code CK11 give the Costing Variant, Material & Plant and go on entar and entar. If everything is green in end then save it.
Then Go to T.code CK24 give the Company Code, material & Plant and then execute.
Click Back and click on Release Button and then execute.
Then try the Transaction you have got the error again.
Hope this helps.

Can't delete the cost estimate via CKR1

Hi,
We have one material. We can't delete the cost estimate via CKR1. It is only warning. It is no error log. The other material cost estimate can delete normally. I check the material master I can't find the issue. The following is the warning message. Could you pls help check it? Whate factor will effect the cost estimate deletion? Thanks.
==========================
Deleting current standard cost estimates can cause inconsistencies
Message no. CK 669
Diagnosis
u2022 If you delete a current standard cost estimate, the fields for
the cost estimate are set to zero in the material master record. If you
use the material ledger, the standard prices in the material ledger
master data are also deleted when you delete the current standard cost
estimate. The material master record for the material thus does no
longer contains a current standard price from a standard cost estimate.
u2022 If you delete an active standard cost estimate, you can no
longer determine scrap, work in process and variations for previous
periods.
u2022 In certain countires, it is a legal requirement to maintain
records of standard pricing. Therefore, you should check whether you
are obliged by law to keep records of your standard cost estimates.
Please also contact the relevant accounting and inventory management
departments.
==========================
Best Regards
Park Han

Hi,
The deletion of Current standard cost estimate should be followed with some rules of the IFRS.
If you want to change the standard cost you can do the change,If you want to delete the standard cost of material then it will set the price of material to zero.If the material ledger also activate then it will make the Moving average price & standard cost of the material to zero.
So follow the Law of the country & Discus with Audit team &then delete the curent standard cost estimate of the material.

Raj

No standard cost estimate found for the material

Hi,
When we are trying to generate the bill systems throws the error as "no statandard cost estimate found" whereas the material is a kmat material.
Actually as per the requirement we should not Run standard cost estimate for any material,we will update the standard price in MR21
What are the settings that i need to do to avoid the above error message while doing billing?
Following error msg is appearing:-
No standard cost estimate could be found for material "300000"
Message no. K/834
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis, an attempt was made while valuating with material costing to read for material "123456" a standard cost estimate released on posting date "02.10.2008".
The system has discovered that there are no error-free standard cost estimates released in plant "BP01" on the specific date "02.10.2008" for material "123456".
The material cost estimate is accessed according to the CO-PA Customizing settings for costing key "YG1" under Define Access to Material Costing.

Remove the Costing keys assignment in the step "assign costing keys to any
characteristics" in COPA Configuration settings.

Cost Estimate Mistakenly deleted - ML Active

Dear all,
One of the user mistakenly delete the cost estimate released for a material.
This material already have the status "quantity and values entered" in Material ledger/
The Material ledger is active with price determination 3.
What things usually must be done in this case?
Please guide us on the issue above.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Erwin,
If there is no released cost estimate for the FG/SFG products, you will have a problem during the Billing Doc release to Accounting/COPA document.
The workaround is : if you are using Split Valuation/Valuation type, you can create new valuation type and release standard cost estimate.
Let me know if you need any further details.

Cost estimate Issue

Hi All,
We are creating cost estimate and got error message "Credit Key not defined".
We are not maintaining credit key in our cost sheet and we dont follow this process.
Please let us know what is missing in our process according to user transaction level .And what does this mean in costing terms.
Regards,
Payal Saxena

Hi,
1). Check weather you have assigned any Credit key in your Costing Sheet which is not available in system? Or
2). If you dont assign any Credit in Costing sheet then remove the costing sheet assignment in Costing Variant/Valuation Variant
Remember,If you remove Costing sheet assignment, it wont pull any overheads in Standard Costestimate.

CK24 - "Release too early" message in log

Hi, All:
I am trying to perform a mark and release for period 1 in 2009 today Dec 16. The cost estimate was done without error. Marking was allowed in CK24 as well as Release. I checked the costing 2 tab and my estimate was there as the future standard cost. Everything seems OK.
However when I check the log, it has this message:
Message number 157 - Company code then "Release too early".
Will this cause problem to my release on Jan 1, 2009.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Peter

Thanks for your quick response, Suraj and Mangalraj!
I am new to SAP and no one in the company knows the exact detail on how to perform the annual cost update. Hence I am asking for help here. I am doing a test on one item right now. I tried before this test to use CK40N to perform a cost run. It gave me incorrect costings. We looked into details and discovered that CK40N is for items with quantity structure. Because all our products are without quantity (purchase items), the system did the calculation incorrectly.
I think I need to clarify a bit more about my test. We have purchase items only hence I used KKPAN - Create cost estimate without quantity structure to enter the costs in directly. There are 3 cost elements, the purchase price, the freight and inspection overhead. The cost estimate should be done by SAP right away after the data is entered. After the data entry, I perform the CK24 to mark the item. Then I use CK24 again to release. Then I checked and saw that message.
Based on Suraju2019s comment, does that means that I have to release the costs on Jan 1, 2009 for my new standard costs to be effective? I found that to be very ineffective. Why canu2019t SAP allow me to plan ahead? I have already performed all my analysis on all the costs. I am sure they are correct. Why do I still need to perform the release on the first date of the actual period?
With regard to Mangalraju2019s comment, I can understand that if the structure is based on some future date, the system should not allow the release because there may be errors when the actual costing run is performed. However since I am not using costing run as explained above, this is not relevant to my situation.
One thing I want comments on is whether this message will stop my planned costs to become standard costs on Jan 1, 2009? This message is not an error, not even a warning. What will happen if I disregard this message? Will I have problem on Jan 1 with the system having outdated standard costs that I have been using for 2008? Please advise.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Cost Estimate error is coming at the time of billing document release

Dear All,
Hi, I am facing one problem that is whenever i am releasing the billing document system gives the error message.
Error : No standard cost estimate found for this material 164001001.
Here problem is some finished products we have a cost run and other finished materials we don't have a cost run. Other finished materials billing document release time we are facing the above error. There is no costing run for other finished materials. Here we have a CO-PA.
I have mainatined the costing key settings(ke40) in co-pa. In Ke40 t.code i have maintained the below settings.
1. I have selected transfer standard cost estimate radio button under determine material cost estimate.
2. Costing variant is 1010( This is our varaint)
3.Costing version is 01
4. Period indicator : Current standard cost estimate account to entry in material master.
I have maintained the above settings in ke40 t.code. Please suggest if any thing is wrong on above settings.
And also i have maintained costing key to material type assignments in ke4j t.code.
Here i maintained the three point of valuation (PV), One is real valuation, second is manual planning, third is automatic planning.
here i have assigned material type (fert) to costing key in costing key1 filed.
Please suggest if any thing wrong in the above settings. Still i am facing the same error at the time of billing document releasing time. Anybody please help to me. It is a very urgent to me.
Thanks & Regards,
Reddy

Hi,
This is a common error when COPA is activated and when the Costing Key is assigned according to the Material type in KE4J.
When you need Cost estimation for few FGs and dont require for other FG, then you list out the materials for which you require SCE and then assign these list of materials to the costing key in KE4H(Costing key for Products) leaving out those which dont require.
But detail the requirement further to facilitate the solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Kumar

Release of Cost estimate error

Hi,
I am creating a material cost estimate by CK11n.
Then doing Marking of the cost estimate in CK24.
But, while releasing it gives errors like present period is too early.
I have checked the current period in MM03.
Ususally this problem starts during last week of the month.After 17th or 18th of the month the costs do not get released, accounting documents of billing docs of SD doesn't get generated. It asks for waiting till opening of next period.
Why this kind of error happens? An elaborate explanation will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Prithwiraj.

While executing CK11n, please ensure that, start date as today's date. You will not find any error in CK24 if the CK11n start date is current date.
Please make sure that, you are in current period.
Please award if my answer works fine.

CK24 - mark and release with different costing version

Hi,
We are currently using standard costing variant PPC1 and costing version 1 to mark and release the standard costs. However when we try to recost the material cost due to price changes, system does not allow to mark & release revised standard cost if we try to mark & release on same day. pls note standard cost estimate is already released for the month. And we do not want to delete existing standard cost estimate. Instead we want to explore other options. We are using 4.7.
My questions are :
a) Can recost using costing version 2? CK11N allows to save the costing result. However in CK24 Marking allowance, system does not allow to change Costing Version. is there any config option to change this.
b) If we cannot use different cost version, can we update material cost with same costing variant (PPC1) and costing version (1) in this case. However when we tried to do recost with same costing variant & verison on same day, system gives an error 'Material AAAA in plant MMM has a released cost estimate.'
Any inputs on above issue highly appreciated.
thanks
Sunil

Hi,
While, you can use any of the Costing versions to mark & release Standard cost estimate, you can release Cost estimate only once in a fiscal period. If you want to release correct prices, then you have delete existing released cost estimates using CKR1 transaction and then re-run CK40N to release.
Hope this helps.
