itemization contains an item &V3& with item category &V4&. However, it
is not possible to transfer this item to the costing with quantity
structure.

costs of the cost estimate without quantity structure.
The following item categories are not supported in the cost estimate
with quantity structure:
S for total
T for text item
B for base planning object
O for mathematical operation
Y for customer-specific extension
