• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC599 - Calculated &1 &2 is greater than maximum markup &3; change your entry ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC599
  
  Text: Calculated &1 &2 is greater than maximum markup &3; change your entry
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the system calculates a value (such as a price, cost, or markup) that exceeds the predefined maximum markup limit set in the system configuration or master data. The placeholders &1, &2, and &3 typically represent:
  
  &1: The type of value calculated (e.g., price, cost, markup)
  &2: The actual calculated value
  &3: The maximum allowed markup value
  
  The system enforces this limit to prevent unrealistic or unauthorized pricing or costing entries that could lead to financial discrepancies or policy violations.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During pricing or costing calculations in Sales and Distribution (SD), Production Planning (PP), or Controlling (CO) modules.
  When entering or updating prices, markups, or cost estimates that exceed the allowed maximum markup.
  During transfer pricing, cost rollups, or price condition updates.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Maximum Markup Settings:
  
  Review the maximum markup limits configured in the system. These might be set in:
  
  Condition records (e.g., pricing conditions in SD)
  Material master data (e.g., costing views)
  Customizing settings (e.g., in transaction SPRO under pricing or costing)
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust the Input Values:
  
  Modify the entered price, cost, or markup so that it does not exceed the maximum allowed markup.
  Ensure that the markup percentage or absolute value is within the allowed range.
  
  
  
  Update the Maximum Markup Limit (if business justified):
  
  If the business process requires a higher markup, update the maximum markup limit in the customizing settings or master data.
  This should be done carefully and usually requires authorization and business approval.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Entry Errors:
  
  Verify that the entered values are correct and not due to a typo or incorrect unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Consult with Controlling or Pricing Team:
  
  If unsure about the limits or the reason for the error, consult the controlling or pricing team responsible for setting these parameters.
