Message text: Material &2: Profit center cannot be determined.
Partner version &V1& requires a profit center to be determined.
However, no profit center is assigned to material &V2& in plant &V3&.
Since there is also no dummy profit center assigned to controlling area
&V4&, partner determination is broken off. The cost estimate receives
the status 'KF' (= costed with errors).
Assign a profit center to material &V2& in plant &V3& and carry out
costing again.
