Standard Cost Estimate not found for material XXXXX

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

seeking for your help regarding an issue I have encountered.

An initial SO was created 5/22/2014. Delivery was done 07/18/2014 and billing is 08/04/2014.

However a return SO was created come 03/24/2015 but pricing date captured was . and return delivery  was done on 03/25/2015.

During creation of billing, thepricing date captured was 08/01/2014. during creation of credit for returns, the pricing date is also 08/01/2014.

but then the system wouldnt allow creation of accounting doc due to this error:

the system seem to consider the cost estimate of the original goods issue date of the material.

Is there a way to fix this since we cannot create a cost estimate for previous dates?

Pease help.

Many times, this topic has been discussed.  Search in SCN or Google with the same error text so that you will find en number of inputs.

You need to discuss the issue with your FI specialist. You may refer the OSS 2038550 - Error with material cost estimate in CO-PA valuation after upgrade and may refer the WIKI page given in it @ Workaround to avoid valuation with product cost estimate in CO-PA - ERP Financials - SCN Wiki

Thank you for the information Shiva, however,i think the material should be valuated. It's just that im wondering why it needs the cost estimate for the original goods issue date and not the returns goods movement.

Hi Niki,

An initial SO was created 5/22/2014. Delivery was done 07/18/2014 and billing is 08/04/2014.

However a return SO was created come 03/24/2015 but pricing date captured was . and return delivery  was done on 03/25/2015.

During creation of billing, the pricing date captured was 08/01/2014. during creation of credit for returns, the pricing date is also 08/01/2014.

but then the system wouldnt allow creation of accounting doc due to this error:

This is CO related issue and it is best recommended to check with CO consultant on the following factors to rectify this issue :-

1:- All Material master data prerequisite from CO prospect are maintained correctly in the system, since Sales Order was created on 5/22/2014 and      Return was initiated on 03/24/2015.

2:- Please verify whether any CO enhancement is developed which has a dependency for return scenario.

3:- Costing key setting also needs to be verified and try running this scenario again by changing the pricing date in Return Order.

Thanks,

Hello Sarthak, I checked all that was mentioned above, also i tried changing the pricing date but still not solved. For the costing key, the set up is really to check the goods issue date. Im thinking since no configuration must be done, is there any work around?
