CO-PA Error during billing

[Former Member]

Hi sap gurus

during our SD consultant making a billing it blocked and when trying to release them we got this message

In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to

valuate a line item by reading a product cost estimate with

the costing variant YPC1. This costing variant has not been

maintained in Customizing for Product Cost Controlling

(Table TCK03).

The system tried to find the product cost estimate for the

product "H10" for costing key YB1 as defined in the

CO-PA Customizing settings.

we are not using product costing as we are on best practice

so does anybody know wt should i do???

P.S I;m new to controlling

Dear,

Please go to IMG path SPRO>Controlling>Profitability Analysis> Master Data>Valuatioin>Setup using Material Cost Estimate>Define Access to Standard Cost Estimate, there in Costing Variant you will find as YPC1, which in Customized one, please maintain PPC1 there...or remove it will work.

thnx for ur help

i tried so and still blocked,it needs cost estimate for the material although we are not working with material cost estimate

the strange that it works on the demo server while it gives us this error on QAS,,they both have the same settings!!!
