  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC333 - No assignment exists, the copy has been aborted ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WRF_APC333 No assignment exists, the copy has been aborted


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Product Costing or Product Cost Planning when you try to copy or transfer data (such as cost estimates, BOMs, routings, or assignments) but the system cannot find a required assignment or link between objects.

    Specifically, the message indicates that the system expected an assignment (e.g., between a cost estimate and a cost component structure, or between a routing and a work center) but did not find it. As a result, the copy or transfer process is aborted to prevent inconsistent or incomplete data from being created.

    Common scenarios include:

    • Missing assignment between a cost estimate and a cost component structure.
    • Missing assignment between a routing and a work center or activity type.
    • Missing assignment in the costing variant or costing version.
    • Incomplete master data or configuration settings that are prerequisites for the copy process.

    Solution:

    To resolve the error, follow these steps:

    1. Check Master Data Assignments:

      • Verify that all necessary master data objects are correctly assigned.
      • For example, ensure that the cost estimate is assigned to the correct cost component structure.
      • Check that routings are assigned to valid work centers and activity types.
    2. Review Configuration Settings:

      • Check the costing variant and costing version settings.
      • Ensure that the cost component structure is properly maintained and assigned in the costing variant.
      • Verify that the valuation variant and other costing-related configurations are complete.
    3. Check BOM and Routing Consistency:

      • Make sure BOMs and routings are complete and valid.
      • Confirm that all components and operations have valid assignments.
    4. Use SAP Transaction Codes for Diagnosis:

      • Use transaction codes like CK11N (Create Cost Estimate), CK40N (Costing Run), or CA03 (Display Routing) to check the relevant data.
      • Use CKM3 to analyze cost component splits and assignments.
    5. Recreate or Correct Missing Assignments:

      • If an assignment is missing, create or correct it.
      • For example, assign the correct cost component structure to the costing variant or assign the correct work center to the routing.
    6. Check for OSS Notes:

      • Search SAP OSS Notes for message WRF_APC333 for any known bugs or patches.
      • Sometimes, SAP provides specific corrections or recommendations.

    Related Information:

    • Message Class: WRF_APC (related to Product Costing and Cost Planning)
    • Common Transactions:
      • CK11N – Create Cost Estimate
      • CK40N – Costing Run
      • CA03 – Display Routing
      • CS03 – Display BOM
    • SAP Modules Involved:
      • Controlling (CO)
      • Production Planning (PP)
      • Product Costing (CO-PC)
    • Typical Areas to Check:
      • Cost component structure assignments
      • Costing variant configuration
      • Routing and work center assignments
      • BOM completeness and validity

    If you provide more context (e.g., which transaction you were running, what objects you were copying), I can help with more specific guidance.
