  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC659
  
  Text: Entered markup1 &1 differs from existing markup1 &2 for material &3 &4
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of Product Costing or Costing-based Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) when there is an inconsistency in the markup values maintained for a particular material.
  
  The system is trying to post or update a markup value (markup1) for a material.
  However, the markup value you are trying to enter (&1) differs from the markup value already existing (&2) for the same material (&3) and possibly the same costing version or costing variant (&4).
  This inconsistency can happen during costing runs, cost estimate updates, or when markups are maintained manually or via interfaces.
  The system enforces consistency to avoid conflicting markup values for the same material in the costing process.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the markup values for the material are consistent:
  
  
  Check Existing Markup Values:
  
  Use transaction codes like CKM3 (Display Cost Component Split) or CK13N (Display Cost Estimate) to check the current markup values for the material.
  Verify the markup values in the costing variant or costing version you are working with.
  
  
  
  Align Markup Values:
  
  If you are entering a new markup value, make sure it matches the existing markup value for the material.
  If the markup value needs to be changed, update it consistently across all relevant cost estimates or costing runs.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing Settings:
  
  Check the configuration for markups in Controlling (CO) under Product Costing.
  Verify if there are any user exits, BAdIs, or custom logic that might be enforcing or modifying markup values.
  
  
  
  Re-run Costing or Markup Update:
  
  After correcting the markup values, re-run the costing or the relevant process that triggered the error.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes, this error might be related to known issues or patches. Check SAP Support Portal for any notes related to WRF_APC659.
