  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC660
  
  Text: Entered markup2 &1 differs from existing markup2 &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 material.
  
  The system detects that the entered markup2 value (a secondary markup or surcharge percentage) for a material differs from the existing markup2 value already stored or maintained for that material.
  This typically happens during costing runs, cost estimate creation, or when updating costing data where markups are applied.
  The inconsistency can arise if multiple cost estimates or costing variants try to apply different markup2 values for the same material, which is not allowed.
  
  
  Explanation of the Message Variables:
  
  &1 = Entered markup2 value (the new value you are trying to enter)
  &2 = Existing markup2 value (the value already stored in the system)
  &3 = Material number
  &4 = Plant or other relevant identifier
  
  
  When does this happen?
  
  When you try to create or update a cost estimate for a material and specify a markup2 value that conflicts with the one already assigned.
  When markups are maintained manually or via costing variants and there is a mismatch.
  During costing runs where multiple costing versions or costing variants are used inconsistently.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Markup2 Values:
  
  Review the existing markup2 values assigned to the material in the costing data.
  Use transaction codes like CK13N (Display Cost Estimate) or CKM3 (Material Price Analysis) to check current cost estimates and markups.
  
  
  
  Align Markup2 Values:
  
  Ensure that the markup2 value you are trying to enter matches the existing one.
  If you need to change the markup2 value, update it consistently across all relevant cost estimates or costing variants.
  
  
  
  Review Costing Variants and Markup Settings:
  
  Check the costing variant settings in transaction OKKN or CK40N to see if markups are defined differently.
  Harmonize the markup2 values in the costing variant or costing run parameters.
  
  
  
  Clear or Delete Conflicting Cost Estimates:
  
  If conflicting cost estimates exist, consider deleting or adjusting them to remove inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Consult with Controlling/Costing Team:
  
  Since markups affect profitability and costing, coordinate with the controlling or costing team to decide on the correct markup2 value.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Markup2 is often used to represent additional surcharges or overhead percentages applied on top of the base cost.
  Consistency in markup values is critical for accurate cost rollups and profitability analysis.
  This error helps maintain data integrity by preventing conflicting cost data for the same material.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Entered markup2 value differs from existing markup2 for the material in costing data.
  
  
  Effect
  System blocks the update to prevent inconsistent costing data.
  
  
  Solution
  Align markup2 values by reviewing and correcting cost estimates or costing variant settings.
