System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

a) If time is critical for your posting, you can ignore this warning.
The differences are then split using the standard cost component split
for price of the material concerned.
You can also deactivate this warning user-specific, by choosing
,,System -> User Profile -> Own Data, going to the Parameter tab and
entering the value ADJUST for parameter CKMLCSS_ADJUST.
b) If time is not critical to your posting, SAP recommends you to
terminate the transaction.
In both cases you should create a CSS Message to SAP with the following
entries:
,,Component:,,CO-PC-ACT
,,Priority:,,,,high
,,Short text:,,,,Error MLCCS 100,,
,,In the description, enter the transaction that lead to the error.
,,
You can permanently deactivate the message by maintaining an entry with
KKEY=MLCCS_100 and KDATA=N in table CKMLMVADMIN.
You can have the message always displayed as an error message (the
transaction cannot then be updated), by maintaining an entry with
KKEY=MLCCS_100 and KDATA=E in table CKMLMVADMIN.

This error indicates that there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the cost component structure for a material, which can prevent proper processing of actual costs.
  Causes:
  
  Inconsistent Cost Component Structure: The cost component structure defined in the system does not match the actual costs recorded for the material.
  Missing Cost Components: Some cost components may be missing or not properly defined in the configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the Material Ledger or the cost component structure may not be set up correctly.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system or if there were changes in the cost structure, inconsistencies may arise.
  Changes in Costing Variants: If there have been changes to the costing variants or cost component structures after the actual costs were posted, this can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Cost Component Structure: Verify that the cost component structure for the material is correctly defined and matches the actual costs. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP.
  Review Configuration Settings: Ensure that the Material Ledger and cost component settings are correctly configured. This includes checking the settings in transaction code OML2 (for cost component structure) and OML3 (for Material Ledger).
  Reprocess Actual Costs: If the cost component structure has been corrected, you may need to reprocess the actual costs. This can be done using transaction code CKMLCP (for actual costing).
  Check for Missing Components: Ensure that all necessary cost components are included in the cost component structure. If any are missing, add them and reprocess the costs.
