• Message text: Reference object &2 assigned to costing type &1 does not exist

What causes this issue?

Reference object &V2& was originally assigned to costing type &V1&.
Reference object &V2& no longer exists because the system tables were
changed in the meantime.

How to fix this error?

Check whether reference object &V2& is missing from client 000 in your
system. You can display the following tables with transaction SM31:
TCK22 reference objects
TCK23 names for reference objects
If reference object &V2& is not in client 000, that means it was
probably not delivered. Contact the SAP hotline.
If reference object &V2& is in client 000, transfer these two tables
again by copying a client. When copying, you select individual tables
(in this case, the above tables). It is recommended that you first copy
a client in the test run mode.
