  The SAP error message K3060 indicates that the cost component structure is not maintained in the customizing table (TCKH4). This error typically arises when you are trying to perform a cost-related transaction, such as creating or changing a cost estimate, and the system cannot find the necessary configuration for the cost component structure.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The cost component structure has not been defined in the customizing settings.
  Incorrect Settings: The settings in the customizing table TCKH4 may be incomplete or incorrect.
  Missing Authorization: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the cost component structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the K3060 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and navigate to the following path:
  SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Controlling -> Product Cost Controlling -> Cost Object Controlling -> Define Cost Component Structure
  
  Ensure that a cost component structure is defined and that it is correctly assigned to the relevant controlling area.
  
  
  
  Maintain Table TCKH4:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 or SE16 to view the contents of table TCKH4.
  Check if the cost component structure you are trying to use is listed. If not, you will need to create a new entry or modify an existing one.
  
  
  
  Assign Cost Component Structure:
  
  If the cost component structure exists but is not assigned to the relevant controlling area, you need to assign it. This can be done in the same customizing path mentioned above.

  Testing:
