3. Tasks description

3.1. I run the standard cost calculation for the created / updated material

3.1.1. I run the Transaction CK11N - Create Material Cost Estimate and follow the steps accordingly.

3.2. I perform corrective action in case of errors

There's a list of the Error Number, Error Message Text and the Action that should be performed.

Nr of Error	Error Message Text	Actions
380	No valid source of supply could be found	The BOM for this material is not yet created, so the material could not be costed
468	No price could be determined for subcontracting	Update Purchase info record for tolling (ME12)
23	No control record for Activity type CHEF/XXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXX in version XXX / 20XX activity planning/qty planning	Missing the link between cost center and activity type in KP26, please give us the price to update SAP
354	Material XXXXXX in plant XXXX has material status Z4 : Material deleted	Update the BOM by removing the material in column G or block the material in column C. In case the material needs to be blocked, please create a freshdesk ticket to the D&A team in case you need request to block/unblock or mark for deletion of materials.
60	Object was not costed	Confirm if the material is produced!No BOM and routing, so the material could not be costed
862	Material XXXXXX in plant XXXX does not contain any segment for in-house production	- usually its a missing parametrization for the mixed ratios;- if the material has no valuation type, it's because the master data isn't managed correctly (it has Split Valuation "B" but no Purchased/produced header). So, if it's supposed to be used: either this material shall not be costed, either extended to produced and/or purchased.
430	Missing formula in work center 2CPE_FA2	It's necessary to update the workcenter because it's not complete for this material - to be done in the plant

3.3. I request validation from the person in charge of the cost estimate

I answer to the ticket made by the controller and ask him to validate the Cost Estimate obtained.

3.4. I mark and release the standard cost

I run transaction CK24 - Price update: Mark and Release Standard Price.

3.5. I inform the requester

I contact the controller saying that the material was marked/released and it's now ready to be used.
