  The SAP error message FCO_KKS1H_MESSAGE004 ("Only one target cost version could be used") typically occurs in the context of cost planning or cost object controlling within the SAP system. This error indicates that the system has detected multiple target cost versions, but only one can be processed at a time.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Target Cost Versions: The error arises when the system encounters more than one target cost version for a particular cost object or planning scenario. This can happen if:

  There is a misconfiguration in the cost planning settings or in the master data.
  
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to cost versions, such as incorrect settings in the controlling area or cost center.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Target Cost Versions:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., KKS1 for cost center planning) and check the target cost versions that are set up.
  Ensure that only one target cost version is selected for the operation you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you need to use multiple versions, review the configuration settings in the controlling area to see if it allows for multiple target cost versions and adjust accordingly.
  Consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings align with your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks on your cost object data to ensure there are no discrepancies.
  If necessary, correct any inconsistencies in the master data or planning data.
