  Cost Component Assignment: The cost components may not be assigned to the relevant cost elements or cost centers.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the master data related to cost components or cost estimates.
  Versioning Issues: The cost estimate might be in a version that does not support cost components.
