• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC581 - Calculated markup 2 &1 is greater than max. markup &2; change your entry ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC581 Calculated markup 2 &1 is greater than max. markup &2; change your entry
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during pricing or costing in SAP when the system calculates a markup value (markup 2) that exceeds the maximum allowed markup defined in the system or master data. Essentially, the calculated markup percentage or amount is higher than the predefined limit, which is set to control pricing or cost escalation.
  
  Markup 2 refers to a specific markup condition or step in the pricing procedure.
  The system compares the calculated markup against the maximum allowed markup (configured in condition records, pricing procedure, or master data).
  If the calculated markup exceeds this maximum, the system throws this error to prevent invalid or unintended pricing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Maximum Markup Settings:
  
  Review the maximum markup values maintained in the condition records or pricing master data.
  These are usually maintained in condition types related to markup or surcharge.
  Transaction codes to check condition records: VK11, VK12, VK13.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Maximum Markup:
  
  If the business requirement allows, increase the maximum markup value to accommodate the calculated markup.
  Ensure that this change aligns with pricing policies and approvals.
  
  
  
  Review the Input Data:
  
  Verify the input values that lead to the markup calculation.
  Check if the base price, cost, or other relevant values are correct.
  Incorrect or unexpected input values can cause unusually high markup calculations.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Review the pricing procedure to understand how markup 2 is calculated.
  Ensure that the sequence and condition types are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Consult with Pricing/Costing Team:
  
  If unsure about the markup limits or pricing logic, consult with the pricing or costing team.
  They can provide guidance on appropriate markup limits and business rules.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Condition Types: Markup conditions are often defined as condition types in SAP SD or MM pricing.

  Transaction Codes:

  VK13 - Display Condition Record
  MEK1 / MEK2 / MEK3 - For purchasing conditions
  
  
  Configuration Path:
  
  SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Types
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WRF_APC581 indicates that the calculated markup exceeds the maximum allowed markup. To resolve it, verify and adjust the maximum markup limits in condition records or pricing master data, check the input values causing the markup calculation, and ensure the pricing procedure is correctly configured.
