• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MLCCS202 - Value of cost component split is initial (KALNR = &1, object = &2) ?

  The SAP error message MLCCS202 indicates that there is an issue with the cost component split for a particular cost object. This error typically arises in the context of controlling (CO) and material management (MM) modules when the system expects a value for a cost component split but finds it to be initial (i.e., empty or zero).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Cost Component Split: The cost component split for the specified cost object (KALNR) is not defined or is not populated correctly.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for cost component splits may not be set up properly in the system.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in data entry or missing data in the relevant master data or transaction data.
  Cost Object Not Initialized: The cost object (object = &2) may not have been initialized or may not have any associated cost components.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Cost Component Split Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for cost component splits in the SAP system.
  Ensure that the cost component structure is correctly defined and that all necessary components are included.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the cost object (e.g., material master, production order, etc.) to ensure that all relevant fields are populated.
  Verify that the cost object has been properly initialized and that it has valid cost component data.
  
  
  
  Transaction Data Review:
  
  Look at the transaction data related to the cost object to ensure that the cost component split has been correctly recorded.
  If necessary, re-enter or correct the transaction data to include the required cost component values.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like CK11N (Create Cost Estimate) or CK40N (Change Cost Estimate) to review and adjust cost estimates and their splits.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on cost component splits and related error messages.
