• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MLCCS012 - Cost comp. &1, CostComp.Struct. &2: only var.costs are valuation-relevant ?

  The SAP error message MLCCS012 indicates that there is an issue with the cost component structure in the context of cost accounting. Specifically, it states that only variable costs are considered valuation-relevant for the cost component structure you are working with. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform a valuation or cost calculation that involves fixed costs or other non-variable costs, which are not set up to be valuation-relevant in the current configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Cost Component Structure Configuration: The cost component structure may be configured to only include variable costs as valuation-relevant. This means that fixed costs or other types of costs are not included in the valuation process.
  Cost Element Settings: The cost elements associated with the costs being processed may not be marked as valuation-relevant.
  Costing Variant Settings: The costing variant being used may not be set up to include certain types of costs in the valuation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Cost Component Structure:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the cost component structure in SAP (Transaction code: OKTZ).
  Check the settings to ensure that the relevant cost components are marked as valuation-relevant.
  
  
  
  Check Cost Elements:
  
  Review the cost elements associated with the costs in question (Transaction code: KA01 for creating cost elements or KA02 for changing).
  Ensure that the cost elements are configured correctly and are marked as valuation-relevant.
  
  
  
  Adjust Costing Variant:
  
  Review the costing variant settings (Transaction code: OKKN).
  Ensure that the costing variant includes the necessary cost components and that they are set up to be valuation-relevant.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on configuring cost component structures and valuation-relevant costs.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test run to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the costing calculations are processed correctly.
