• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC596 - Enter &1 greater than or equal to minimum markup &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC596 Enter &1 greater than or equal to minimum markup &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of Pricing and Costing in SAP, particularly when working with Product Costing or Sales Pricing where markups are defined.
  
  The system is prompting you to enter a value (usually a markup percentage or amount) that must be greater than or equal to a predefined minimum markup.
  The placeholders &1 and &2 represent:
  
  &1: The value you entered (e.g., your markup percentage).
  &2: The minimum allowed markup value defined in the system.
  
  
  
  Cause:
  
  You have entered a markup value that is less than the minimum markup defined in the system settings or master data. The system enforces this minimum markup to ensure pricing or costing rules are adhered to.
  
  Where does this happen?
  
  In Costing Variants or Pricing Procedures where markups are applied.
  During cost estimate runs or price determination.
  When maintaining or entering condition records for markups.
  Possibly in APC (Activity Price Calculation) or Product Cost Planning.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Minimum Markup Value:
  
  Identify the minimum markup value (&2) that the system expects.
  This value is usually maintained in:
  
  Pricing condition records (transaction VK11/VK12),
  Costing variants or costing sheets,
  Or in custom configuration tables related to markups.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Your Input:
  
  Enter a markup value (&1) that is equal to or greater than the minimum markup.
  For example, if the minimum markup is 5%, you cannot enter 3%.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the minimum markup seems incorrect or too high, check with your pricing or costing team.
  The minimum markup might be set in:
  
  Condition technique for pricing,
  Costing variant settings,
  Or custom user exits/enhancements enforcing markup rules.
  
  
  
  
  
  If necessary, update the minimum markup:
  
  If business requirements have changed, update the minimum markup value in the relevant master data or configuration.
  This should be done carefully and usually requires authorization.
