  The SAP error message BOS04098, which states "Changes to the cost estimate should be done in ECP," typically occurs in the context of cost estimation and controlling within SAP systems. This error indicates that the system is enforcing a policy or configuration that requires any changes to cost estimates to be made in the Enterprise Controlling (ECP) module rather than in the traditional controlling (CO) module.
  Cause:

  Version Control: The cost estimate may be locked or in a version that does not allow changes outside of ECP.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes in the current module.
  Data Integrity: The system is designed to maintain data integrity by ensuring that cost estimates are managed in a centralized manner through ECP.

  Access ECP: Navigate to the Enterprise Controlling module and make the necessary changes to the cost estimate there.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the controlling area to ensure that they align with your organization's policies regarding cost estimates.
