Costing Block for Material

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem, when I am costing one material thru T-code CK11N, Following error is coming "Costing blocked for material: CXXXXXX001.
Posting not possible. Do you want to cancel? Threre is no do not cost at the plant level, there is no deletion flag, There is no block in source list, there is no block in X plant sp material status in material master.
What may be the reasons, kindly help me. Full points for helping answers.

Your most likely problem is that somebody else was working on the material at the same time - then you cannot lock it for updates.
Wait until the person is finished with the change, and try again later.
Or ask a friend in basis to look at the lock entries on the material master and find out who is locking the material.

Costing blocked for material X.Posting not possible.Do you want to cancel?

Hi,
I need to do a costing via transaction CK11N. The above mentioned error message appears, but I can not find the respective block.
Where can I find these blocks?
In the material master I can not find a costig block for this material (tab Costing 1 - Do not cost).
Thank you in advance for your help!

HI,
Please check in Material master t code MM03
1. Basic Data 1 view: X plant material Status, is there any value?
2. MRP 1 View, Plant Specific materail Status
3. Costing 2 View- Plant Sp.matl Stauts- IS there any value?
One of this should be the cause..
Hope. this helps!

Error when Create Cost Estimate for Material using CK11

Dear Experts,
I have a material ABCD which is FOC parts:-
1) Procurement type: F
2) Special procurement type: Z (at first, it was wrongly entered as B. I changed special procurement to Z & the message 'The procurement type of the special procurement type is E' displayed but I still can save & system allowed it).
3) Standard price is 0.00 as this is FOC.
Firstly, I run CK11 for material EFGH which is the parent of material ABCD.
This time, the material ABCD has special procurement type B. I received error messages:
1) No price could be determined for material ABCD in plant xyz,
2) Cost component split costed with value of zero,
3) Cost estimate for material ABCD in plant xyz is incorrect.
Then, I changed special procurement type for material ABCD from B to Z and run CK11 again. Still the same error occurred.
Could someone advise me how to run CK11 without errors.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know if B and Z are really the name of your special procurement keys or you are just using them as examples. Either way, the special procurement key is critical for determining how your material is valued. It is used for such things as stock transfer from other plant, subcontracting, and consignment processes. Can you tell me how these special proccurement keys are set or what you want to use these keys for. You can find the configuration for these key under menu path Controlling - Porduct cost controlling - Product cost planning - Material cost estimate with quantity structure - Settings for quantity structure control - Master data - Check special procurement types.

I am working on an enhancement for inventory management. I have a requirement to set posting block/inventory block on a material. In doing so I don't wana create a Physical inventory document, my requirement is to set inventory block on a material without generating Physical inventory.

Costing deleted for material, but unable to do costing run

Hi Experts,
After deleting costing for material XXXXX (plant XXXX) it is not picked up by CK40N.
Transaction used for deletion is CKR1.
MM03 shows for this material/plant in tab 'Costing 2' this error when clicking 'current': "No current standard cost estimate exists for material XXXXX in plant XXXX"
Planned price was not set to zero and that I can't give the material a new costing.
Thanks for any feedback.
Edited by: Em Arcilla on Jul 23, 2008 3:12 PM

Hi Jigar,
Transaction CK11N did not work..
The error message is: "Material XXXXX in plant XXXX has a released cost estimate."
It seems that there is something that is not updated when cost estimate for the material was deleted. Weird thing is, in the material master data, it is showing that cost estimate no longer exist.

Difference between cost center for material and sale order

Hi,
I'm having an issue related to profit center. Our business of Reverse Logistics Process is taking the wrong profit center which should be taken from sale order master data, not from material master data as currently. As a developer, I'm confused the definition of profit center in this case. What are the differences between the profit center defined in sale order and in material ?
Thanks,
Paulb

Hi Paul
SAP allows you to change the PC in the sales order... If you dont change, it adopts the PC from Mat Master
You can define substitution of PC for sales order in 0KEM and assign them in 0KEL... You can change the PC based on Sales Org, Dist Channel, Division, etc
For a more complex logic, you can also use an exit

Costing run for material - std. cost estimate

Hi all,
The scenario is as below:
I have a material (halb). I have maintained a BOM. Now, i donot have a routing, but i just use a reference operation set.
In this case, when i run the standard cost estimate (t code CK11N), the master data is read. But, since no routing exists, so the activity costs wont be read. So what should be done in this case, so that the costs as per the activity in ref. operation set is also captured?
Shrenik

Shrenik,
If the Referance Operation Set is standard and same is going to be used always, please <b>enter that details of the Ref. Opn Set</b> in the <b>costing 1 view of the material master under Quantity structure data.</b>

Sales order is blocked for Delivery-ZH Cost estimate Req

Hi experts,
When I am saving the sales order I am getting the informative message standard cost estimate for material xxxx is missing. when i am creating delivery with reference to sales order it is not allowing me to do delivery it is showing that Sales order is blocked for Delivery-ZH Cost estimate Req( in a log). Can you pls let me know what configuration I have to check.
Regards,
Sunina Agarwal

hello, friend.
it looks like product costing has been activated in your environment. if such is the case, you would have to coordinate with your FICO consultant, and they have to make the necessary standard cost estimates.
please also check if the cost estimates are part of the incompletion procedures. if it is, you would not be able to bill the transaction even if this is taken out of the incompleteness procedure.
regards.

Hi
you can use unit costing for material option for this...
Automatic netowrk costing for material component
you need to maintain proper costing variant for material component in config.
in projects assign material then select material -edit - cost - unit costing.
which will get reflected in network cost in CJ40.

How to maintain One product cost collector for multiple materials and configuration setting

Hi experts,
my requirement is that i want to maintain one product cost collector for multiple materials ans also i want to know the configuration setting for the same.
I have used KKF6N but it is not working in my case. I went through KKF6M also but there i found multiple cost collectors.
please guide me in the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shripad,
you cannot assign same Product cost collector to different material.
Because you creating cost collector for material combination of material /production version,material /Bom Routing.
so please create individual cost collector for every material.
if you have any query kindly revert back.
Please mark the answer as helpful if it is helpful to you.

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
