Explanation of the error:
This error means that the system is not being able to cost the material because it's missing some parametrizations are missing in the system in order to calculate the correct cost.
So when we have this error we need to see which kind of product are we trying to cost, and to try to understand where the system is supposed to pick the price.
Go to MM03 to display the material, and check the field "Valuation Type" in the tab "Accounting 1".
As a general rule we have the following:
- Everytime we are dealing with Purchased materials, we must have already a PO created.
- Everytime we are dealing with a Produced material, we must have a BOM created.
However, it's possible to have other options, which are valid for both types of materials (produced + purchased):
- Commercial Price (in WP1) or Planned Price (in PF1) -which should be a temporary solution until the system is correctly parametrized.
- Special Procurement - to pick the price from other plant - IMPORTANT: The system only picks the costing from other plant in case both plants belong to the same company code.
Raw Materials General Rules:
Priority 1: Planned Price 1 in PF1 (tab Costing2) / Commercial Price in WP1 (tab Costing 1)
Priority 2: Moving Average Price (tab Costing 2)
Priority 3: Price from Purchase info Record (see details below)
Priority 4: Standard Price (tab Costing 2)
Details for Priority 3 - Purchase Info Record:
To see the purchase info number record you need to adapt the layout in CK13N (structure or itemization) - then using this number use Tcode ME13 to display it.
The condition enables to display the current price condition used for purchasing:
Finished Goods General Rules:
In this case we have a BOM, so it means that the material is a produced product and the price is being calculated based in the BOM.
Important: while creating the BOM, the production people must flag the "costing relevancy" field, otherwise the cost estimate will not be calculated:
In this case, the material has a special procurement transfer 30, which means that the material is produced (it has a BOM on the left side), but has also a part subcontracted to other company.
We need to go to ME13 and insert the data from the last line of CK11N.
Click on 
and you’ll see the amount from the subcontractor:
The material might also have another Special procurement different from 30-Subcontracting. In this case, the material has a special procurement transfer, which means that it will pick the price from another plant, in this case from plant 8160.
Note: This is only possible if both plants belong to the same company code!
