    Cost center &V1& has not been assigned to a splitting structure.
    In Cost Center Accounting, activity-independent costs can be split
    among the activity types. You split costs to calculate the prices of
    the individual activity types, or their variances.
    You can store different splitting rules for individual costs in a
    <DS:DE.CO_SCNAM>splitting_structure</>.

    System Response

    If a cost center is not assigned to a splitting structure, the
    equivalence numbers from the activity types are used as the
    <DS:DE.CO_AEQUI>splitting_base</>.

    How to fix this error?

    Assign the cost center to a splitting structure if you want to use
    splitting bases other than equivalence numbers.
