• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC597 - Calculated &1 &2 is less than minimum markup &3; change your entry ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC597
  
  Text: Calculated &1 &2 is less than minimum markup &3; change your entry.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the system calculates a value (usually a price, cost, or margin) that is less than the predefined minimum markup allowed for a product or pricing condition. The placeholders &1, &2, and &3 represent:
  
  &1: The type of value calculated (e.g., price, cost, margin)
  &2: The actual calculated value
  &3: The minimum markup value defined in the system
  
  The system enforces minimum markup rules to ensure profitability or compliance with pricing policies. If the calculated value violates this rule, the error is triggered.
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  Pricing or costing runs where the calculated price or margin is below the minimum markup.
  Sales order or billing document creation where entered prices do not meet minimum markup requirements.
  Condition records or pricing procedures enforcing minimum markup limits.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Minimum Markup Settings:
  
  Review the minimum markup values configured in the system. These are often maintained in:
  
  Pricing condition records (transaction VK11/VK12)
  Costing variants or costing sheets
  Profitability analysis or sales pricing configuration
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Pricing or Costing:
  
  Increase the price or margin to meet or exceed the minimum markup.
  Adjust the cost or base value if it is incorrectly low.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Verify if the pricing procedure or condition types enforce minimum markup.
  Modify the procedure or condition records if business rules have changed.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Ensure that material master, customer master, or sales area data do not have incorrect or outdated markup values.
  
  
  
  Consult Business Policy:
  
  Confirm with pricing or sales management if the minimum markup values are still valid or need adjustment.
