Hi,
The business have asked for running the CK40N to the step "Analysis" for all material for a certain plant. This is wanted to be able to carefully analysis the new expected standard price and effects.
I did run the steps in CK40N yesterday but stoped at the Costing step where I got message "Still open". I created 2 new costing runs in CK40N with new names but they ended up with the same result.
I did also create on costing run late in the evening when there where no/few people in the system but I did end up with the same issue "Still open" in the costing step. See attached.
Can anyone help me sort out why this happen and how I can solve it. See attached picture.
Second run
One more question.
Can we create several costing runs in CK40N until Analysis? I guess that is OK as long as we do not do the marking and release?
Best Regards,
Caroline
Hi,
Check the error log....provide the message number.

Hi,
For successful costing run need to clear all the errors which you have faced.
Example:
No price could be determined - Ask MM persons to maintain price for the material.
NO bill of material - Ask PP guys to maintain BOM
Clear all the issues then proceed for mark and release the cost estimate

Hi,
Is the message "Still open" depending on those error messages?
Can we create several costing runs in CK40N until step Analysis? I guess that is OK as long as we do not do the marking and release?
I did yesterday create 4 Costing runs to see if the issue was solved. Can you confirm that it is OK as long as we do not do the Marking and Release step in CK40N?

Hi
First you try to remove all errors by providing solution to the system.
e.g. Error CK380: This error occurs only for subcontracted materials, procurement type F-30. It means that source of supply (Transaction ME01) has not been maintained correctly or it expired
(either validity dates, or fixed vendor). It may also mean that info record subcontracting (Transaction ME11) has been maintained incorrectly. When it happens, purchasing department must be contacted to check the source list and the correctness of master data and update the missing details such as validity dates or fixed vendor switch.
CK465 : CK465 occurred for in-house produced materials. The reason could be the missing planned price or fixed values for materials from material master data. To resolve first check the
valuation strategy of costing variant, see the priorities maintained for calculating the material
cost, like Planned Price 1/2/3 etc and then validate in the material master data whether a
proper price is maintained or not with correct date.
CK40 : Check that in material master costing view are created or not.
CK223: Create Bill of material for the item.
Few errors stated in your query are dependent errors which will automatically removed when their preceding error is removed.
When all errors are removed try creating one new costing ID and do estimate. It should be through.
How ever I have seen that 'Still open' comes when some maintenance activity is going on in material master data or material master is picked for some transaction and we are trying to do cost estimate. So better fo estimate when all users are not working.
Yes you can create several ID in a day but why to do so? After rectifying the errors you can always refresh the same ID within the same day, no need to create a new ID.

Hi,
Thank you both for your replies.
The many error occur since we did selection on the whole plant 3507, where we also have material that should not be costed. We thought this could be a way to get to the step "Analysis" and to the analysis and correct material master. This is probably not a good way to go. True?
Do you suggest we should select only the materials that have price control S (in material master ) in the selection criteria in the step "Selection"?
We would like to run the CK40N to the step "Analysis" and the "Marking" and "Release" will probably not be until next month after all analysis are finished. Do you suggest we create a costing run with Costing date in next month 2015-09-01 or we create a new costing run next month?
Best Regards,
Caroline
Hi
Since CK40N always costs the material to its lowest level of BOM components hence you can give only FG materials in the selection criteria.
Also for bought out materials (price control 'v') you should mark "Do Not Cost' indicator in material master (at costing 1 tab) so that the performance can be improved.
You can do cost estimate now and mark and release on a later date, but better if you do it on the first date of next period so that system may pickup latest MAP for costing of FGs.

Hi,
Thanks for your replay.
Do you suggeset I should delete the 4 different costing runs I did yesterday where I did the selection on plant only? Or should it just be left as it is?
I did run it only to Step costing. No marking or release was done.
If delete. Should it be done via CK44?
Best Regards,
Caroline
Hello Rajneesh,
Thanks for many helpful answers.
Do you know if there are any standard report available where you can get the information about Material Number, Material Name, Current Standard price, Cost estimated standard price, Total stock?
Or can this information only be fetched via CK40N?
We need to fetch that information now to do analysis. Probably the analysis will take a month to finish.
How do you suggest the process to do this then? Should it be like below or in some other way?
1. Today run CK40N with costing date from today, 2015-08-25, for Finished materials. Run to step Analysis only (Selection, Explosion, Costing, Analysis). No Mark and Release.
2. When anlysis ready. We create a new Costing run, with new ID, at the first day in the next comming month so we get then new MAP. Probably 2015-10-01.
Or what do you suggest?
Best Regards,
Caroline
