No cost estimate number could be assigned

Dear Experts,
I am getting below error while creating Material using MM01 transaction.
Please help me in solving this error.
*No cost estimate number could be assigned*
Message no. M3836
Diagnosis
If you create accounting data or costing data for a material for the first time, a so-called cost estimate number for the material is assigned by the system.
However, no such number could be assigned for this material.
Thanks and Regds

Dear,
I'm not sure but check the material type in OMS2 "With Qty Structure" active with valuation area and other setting.

Incorrect assignment of cost estimate number to the material key

Hi,
While doing GR for a particular PO we are getting error msg that "Incorrect assignment of cost estimate number to the material key"
First we thought that this error might be missing of standard prices for materials. Even though creation of standard prices has not solved the problem.Could you please explain me clearly
1) what are the reasons for this error.
2)what is the soltuion for this?
Thanks in adavance

Hi,
I assume that Material Ledger is active, isn't it?
Message C+451 is usually caused if there are some entries in ML without any entry in the MM tables (MBEW, QBEW, EBEW).
These inconsistencies can be identified with the help of program MLHELP_CHECK_MULTIPLE_CKMLHD. Correction can always and only be done by SAP Support. So if this report shows inconsistencies, you should create a message for component CO-PC-ACT.

Cost estimate number

Hello CO experts,
Could anyone help me understand on what basis SAP generates Cost estimate number? I mean, every time I run CK11N and save does SAP creates a new Cost estimate number? Does it also stores in KEKO/KEPH when CK11N is run n saved? How different would it be when CK40N is run? Anyone of you happen to know/research on this?
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
a new plan cost estimate number is created for every material / plant combination that is costed the first time.
Every additional plan cost estimation uses the same plan cost estimation number but the costing version (KALKA), costing date (KADKY), the calculation version (TVERS), valuation variant (BWVAR) differs and creates a new record in table KEKO:

Latest Cost estimate itemization Table

Dear All,
Could some one tell the table name where I can fine the particular material's latest released cost estimate date by each item number and item category.
I use the CKIS table , but the Costing date field (KADKY) of CKIS is not matching with my latest cost release date in my cost estimate (Cost date from : KADAT)
For example :
Material master R1234
Costing Date from : 01/01/2014 ( Latest cost released date)
Item Number : 1
Item Category : L
Value : 100
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Ram
CKIS table is the itemization table.
Cost is always released from 1st of the month and this might be different than the Costing Date From. You need to find the Cost estimate number from keko and then retrieve from CKIS
Also if you are intending to make a Z program, use the Bapis. I have answered it many times, you can search it
Those bapis start as Bapi*cost*estimate*. You can search in SE37

How do view previous cost estimate price in material master

Dear,
friend i want to see the previous standard estimate price of FG and SFG in material master data.i can view current and future standard price. But not the previous price so kindly anybody suggested me, is there any configuration needed for view previous price in controlling module.
Thanks
advance.

You can try table MBEWH table for Material valuation price for previous periods
Or get product cost estimate number KALNR field from KEKO and use that as an input to CKIS table. Here cost is displayed as itemization

Standard cost estimate could not be found for the material

Dear All,
We have 4 manufacturing plants and 30 sale depots. We are maintaining price control (S) for FG and SFG in Manufacturing plants,price control (V) at depots for the same material code. we are getting an error message " standard cost estimate could not be found for the material" while doing billing at depot.
Please give me suggestion.
Your suggestion should be appreciate.
Thanks in advance............
AND
My client want to see profitability at manufacturing plant level and need break up for the COGM. So how can i get the values of depot sales.
please let me know how to do........

Hai
Price control should be S for Depot also. You need to run standard cost estimate in DEPOT after entering additive cost under CK74N for frieght, excise duty etc. To transfer the standard cost from the source plant you need to make configuration in OMD9 defining the receiver and sender combination so that system can pick up the cost from source plant. This special produrement type needs to be asigned in the material masters of DEPOT under MRP 2 view.

No valid source of supply could be found - while running the cost estimate

Hi all,
We are running the material cost estimate for a subcontracting material. The costing is giving an error saying "No valid source of supply could be found".
We have checked
1. Purchase info record
2. Source list
3. Valid dates are maintained for the condition records for the info record.
Still we are getting the error.
Can somebody help on this ?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Karpagam Srinivasan

Dear Karpagam,
Please check these points,
Are you sure you have created a Purchase Info Record in ME11 for a Sub-contratcing process?
Sometimes you would have crated a standard Purchase Info Record.
Maintain procurement type as F and special procurement value 30 in the MRP2 view of the material
master for that material.
As you have mentioned PIR,Source list already exists,please check this and come back.

Hi,
We are in developing phase for Product costing for coal mine project ,
we have raise coal material with Non component BOM , and Routing is only one activity with 400- Raised Coal Qty-MT ,

Production Overhead cost component which assign the secondary cost element which is assign to activity type 400
can any one help me to how we can resolve this issue
Please find attached document

Hi,
Here I am providing the necessity and importance of splitting structure, will share the configuration steps once you go through the following and get the comfort level.
                  Expense Analysis and Splitting in Manufacturing Cost Centers
Introduction In SAP Cost center work as a cost responsibility center, where all the expenses and cost are stored and analyzed for the purpose of management decision making.
The cost could be fixed or variable in nature. The difference between variable and fixed costs can be made in various ways in product costing in CO module.
Fixed costs represent the static costs incurred by the organization, which doesn’t change on the basis on manufacturing activities, which remain constant irrespective of production activities like rent for the premises, salaries of office staff etc.
On the other hand, variable cost varies based on the level of production activities; if production activities increase then variable cost also increased like electricity consumes raw material charges etc.
However all the variable cost doesn’t vary in direct proportion by quantity of goods produced.
In this document will try to define; how the Expenses analysis and splitting of cost done in manufacturing cost centers.
From controlling prospective, fixed cost remain constant regardless of operating activities, but if these factor changes, variable cost will fluctuate.
Basically raw material costs represent variable cost, but in this document main focused will be given to distinguish fixed and variable activity cost.
The segregation between fixed and variable cost is optional and is derived from the configuration and master data configured in cost center accounting and overhead accounting.
Activity Price:
There are different methods that could be used in cost center accounting to determine the activity price. The simple way is the manually enter “Fixed” and “Variable” Activity cost (KP26).
However there are other methods used in Cost center Planning and Budgeting that automatically calculate the fixed and variable activity price.
Here the focused will be given on Planning and Budgeting activity and automatic calculation of plan activity rate in cost center.
This method aggregate planned costs by cost element and capacity by plan unit to calculate the activity price.
Activity independent costs are segregated among different activities based on Splitting Structure, while activity dependent cost directly used for the purpose of variable activity rate calculation.
Fixed Activity Cost:
In product costing all those cost, which doesn’t vary based on the activities in manufacturing cost will represent fixed cost.
In a manufacturing cost centers there may be two or more activities performed.
To calculate the activities rate, the fixed costs are distributed to various activities on the basis of Splitting Structure defined for cost center.
Variable Activity Cost:
Variable activity cost, which directly depend upon the activity type and fluctuate based on increase or decrease in manufacturing activities. In SAP variable activity cost are directly linked to the respective activity.
Activity Prices: Fixed and Variable Split
In Cost Center Accounting dividing the cost between Fixed and Variable requires appropriate split to be made in the cost entered for the activity. The process is described below:
i. Variable cost would be planned at activity level and expenses should be maintained at cost element in the manufacturing cost center by assigning activity and cost element combination.
In other word, the expenses should be planned on Activity type at the time of primary cost planning (KP06).
Then the variable activity rates are calculated on Total cost planned at Activity divided by Total number of activity planned at that cost center (i.e. capacity in KP26)
ii. Fixed cost would be planned at independent of activity type. These costs are maintained in KP06 at cost element level on manufacturing cost center.
Then the fixed costs are distributed on various activity types on the basis of Splitting structure defined at OKEW.
In Splitting Structure we define the rules, how the fixed cost will be distributed to Activities. For the purpose of this document, considering split of fixed cost on the basis of Capacity maintained in KP26.

Error reading material cost estimate for sales order (KE292)

Dear All,
I have an issue with billing. we are posting july month transactions, the material cost is maintained through MR21. When releasing billing document for accounting we are getting error message like"Error reading the material cost estimate for sales order "11"
Message no. KE292
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate item 000010 of sales order 11 by reading the corresponding product cost estimate.
However, no product cost estimate could be found for this sales order item.
The system accessed product costing for product AMLFP011011XX00P using costing key YB3 as defined in the
CO-PA Customizing settings.
System Response
The system cannot process the document any further.
Procedure
Check your Customizing settings."
We cross checked with other client as a current date and we ran cost estimate through CK40N with same material. and we posted entries. Here it is working fine. but in above process it is not working. Can you pls guide me where i missed.
Regards,
Nagaraju,

Hi,
When the Costing Key is assigned to the material types in the COPA customizing, then system expects Cost estimation when billing is released to Accounts.
If you dont run cost estimation but update the material master through MR21, system will not accept as in the Costing key configuration you must have selected the Current Standard price field for the valuation.
Hence, try to run cost estimation and then do releasing.
Thanks & Regards

Issue with Standard Cost estimates / Material Ledger

Background:
We have been using SAP for the last 5 years with Material Ledger active. Due to a number of reasons, we have not revised its standard cost estimates from 2001 till now. This means that at month end, we do not mark and release prices as recommended, nor do we mark prices and use dynamic release.
What Happened:
A new material called PFSW3 was made. This is a FERT. Before production
could start my team released the standard cost estimate for this material. Production was now able to proceed without problem. Then, when the time came to sell the material (VF02), SAP again raised the error 'cost estimate not found'. On checking the standard price in MM03, we discovered that the future cost estimate was missing. So we created and marked a new cost estimate in the middle of February 2007.
Problem:
When the first sale took place, SAP released the marked cost estimate and posted a Price Change document to adjust for the new standard cost. I understand this was due to dynamic release. Now, when month end came, the system settled all the production orders of material PFSW3 but did not do multi level costing on it.
Internal Investigation:
My team has determined that the material PFSW3 has price determination 2 set by mistake. All our other production materials (HALB and FERT) are
set to price determination 3 in the material master (accounting view).
Questions:
To sum this situation up,
we need to know why the material PFSW3 was not marked closed in its period status (CKM3) at the time of closing through CKMLCP?
What are the implications of not closing this material in Feb 2007 (current period status is showing 'Quantities and values entered')?
How can we close this material this month?
The future cost estimate is again missing for PFSW3 in March 2007 and I
fear we are going to face more problems as this material is sold to customers.
Please respond this is an urgent issue.

Dear Shumyl,
Please, have a look at Note 645083 - Material period status set to "Closing Entry Completed" that might help to closing your material in previous period.
Hope it will be useful.
Regards,
Flaviano.

Confuguarable Material Cost Estimate

Hi All.,
It is an urgent requirement.......
My client having both configuarable & non configuarable materials.....
with regarding to the configuarable material cost estimate i don't have good grip on this.
Can anybody please share some guidlines for how to create the cost estimate.....
Thanks one and all.,
Raja

Configurable materials can only have a cost estimate when there is a sales order bom to define the build.
We use configurable material and the cost estimate is configured in the same manner as standard material (Costing variant,costing dates, transfer control, etc. but some of the details differ), but it is only Saved within a Sales order. You can use CU50 for a trial cost - the configuration will have to be created in CU50 before it will cost.
When costing configurable materials in sales orders or for sales orders the valuation variant is different from standard cost variant in these points:
1 - The costing type is different. 18 - Sales order costing vs. 01 - Standard cost est. (mat.)
The Costing type for Sales order does not allow updating of the standard price in the Mat Mstr
The Costing type for Sales order also controls the use of Labor overhead for the costing variant.
2 - Valuation Variant can be different - Valuation for Prod Costing specifies the rules to build a cost estimate. For Sales order, you may want it to use ONLY the standard price for a material/component, and NOT build a cost estimate.
3 - Date control - The default from date for the Config Mat in a Sales order is Today while for product costing it is first of next month
Our Prod Cost Est. is valid until the end of the Fiscal year when a new cost estimate is released. Our Config Material on a Sales order is valid until the end of time.
I cannot explain why we chose one over the other, most of the decisions were made before I arrived. But the Costing Type Difference is very important to us, because there is no chance that the cost estimate will interfere with setting of standards and it allows searching for a Sales Order Cost estimate.
You have to analyze how each part of the costing variant could impact the business and decide how to set it. If circumstances change, you can review the settings later. (I fully intend to review some of ours directly after this conversation.)
Sales Order Costing Variants are on OKY9 while product costing is at OKKN
Sales Order Costing Variants are assigned under SD Maintain Requirements Classes for Costing/Account Assignment (table T459K)
Hope this helps.

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?

Nicole

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

Valuation with Material cost estimate

Hi,
I am getting an error: "Valuation with material cost estimate:error with product 003443434(material number)
Does anyone know which transaction is used to correct this error?
Thanks

Hi,
Go to MM02. Select the views of the materials i.e. accounting 1 & 2 , costing 1 & 2 . Look at the valuation class u have maintained for the same material in the view Accounting 1.
Hope u will get ur problem solved..Assign points, if helpful.

Release Cost estimates

Hi all
Hope you all had a wonderful time during vacation.
I've got a problem here, when I'm trying to release the cost estimates. I get an error message that "Account 650300 requires an assignment to a CO object". The above gl account is a stock reval gains P&L account, but this problem was never there before.
Any ideas what could be the reason for this?
Many thanks
Rasa

Hi,
Good evening and greetings,
This revaluation is hit when there is a difference in Material Master price and the new Standard cost estimate...Earlier you would have defaulted a cost centre inside the cost element...please check inside the cost element for a cost centre...the best way to maintain is OKB9...Alternatively if CO-PA is active, the differences can be settled to the product hierarchy which is again a cost object.
Please reward points if found useful
Thanking you
With kindest regards
Ramesh Padmanabhan
