  The SAP error message "F=105 & & sent sec. costs but did not receive any prim. costs" typically occurs in the context of controlling and cost accounting within SAP. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between secondary and primary cost postings in the system. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Cost Allocation Issues: The error often arises when secondary costs (like internal activity allocations or overhead allocations) are posted without corresponding primary costs (like direct material or labor costs).
  Configuration Errors: There may be issues in the configuration of cost centers, internal orders, or profit centers that lead to this mismatch.
  Posting Errors: It could also be due to incorrect postings in the system where secondary costs are being allocated without any primary costs being recorded.
  Data Consistency: There might be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the system from recognizing the primary costs associated with the secondary costs.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Cost Center/Order Configuration: Review the configuration of the cost centers or internal orders involved. Ensure that they are set up correctly to handle both primary and secondary cost postings.
  Review Cost Postings: Analyze the postings made to the cost centers or orders. Ensure that there are primary costs recorded before secondary costs are allocated.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like KSB1 (Cost Centers: Actual Line Items) or KOB1 (Orders: Actual Line Items) to review the postings and identify any discrepancies.
  Repost Costs: If necessary, repost the primary costs to ensure that they are recorded before the secondary costs.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling cost allocations and postings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide patches or updates to resolve the issue.
  
  Related Information:

  Cost Accounting Processes: Familiarize yourself with the processes of cost accounting in SAP, including how costs are allocated and reported.
  Training and Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
