Why some materials are not selected in the Costing Run (CK40N)

[Expert]

The header material has above 30 component materials, but in CK40N, only 10 materials are selected, although the flag "Explore Multilevel Structure" is selected.

[Expert · Accepted solution]

It could be the component materials already have released cost estimate in the same period.

You might have already costed the materials and released the cost estimates.

Under this situation, the materials will not be selected again.

The header material will use the existing released cost estimates directly.

To make analysis for this kind of issue, a good way is to select the missing component materials only.

System will raise information to explain the cause.

Like in above case:

No materials selected

Message no. CK277

Also message:

CK 171 Material XXXXXXX in plant XXXX has a released cost estimate
