  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC663
  
  Text: Prices for material &1 &2 &3 cannot be modified without markup1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of Product Costing or Pricing in SAP, particularly when you try to modify the prices of a material in a costing or pricing procedure without specifying or maintaining the required markup or price adjustment.
  
  The system enforces that any price changes for the specified material(s) must be accompanied by a markup or price adjustment.
  This is often related to costing variants, price determination procedures, or pricing conditions where the markup is mandatory.
  The error indicates that the system expects a markup value to be entered or maintained before allowing the price modification.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During cost estimate creation or change (CK11N, CK40N, etc.)
  When updating or changing pricing conditions in sales or purchasing documents.
  In APC (Activity Price Calculation) or Product Cost Planning scenarios where price changes are controlled by markups.
  When the system is configured to prevent direct price changes without markup to ensure consistent pricing logic.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain the required markup:
  
  Check the pricing or costing procedure to identify where the markup is expected.
  Enter or update the markup value for the material(s) in the relevant transaction or master data.
  For example, in costing, ensure that the markup percentage or price adjustment is maintained in the costing variant or cost component split.
  
  
  
  Check configuration:
  
  Review the pricing or costing procedure configuration to understand why the markup is mandatory.
  If the markup requirement is not needed, consult with your SAP functional consultant to adjust the configuration accordingly.
  
  
  
  Verify master data:
  
  Ensure that the material master data, especially in the costing views, has the correct settings for price control and markup.
  Check if any user-exits or custom validations enforce this rule.
  
  
  
  Use correct transaction and data:
  
  Make sure you are using the correct transaction and entering all required fields.
  Sometimes, missing or incorrect data in the costing or pricing procedure triggers this error.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transactions: CK11N (Create Cost Estimate), CK40N (Costing Run), VK11/VK12 (Maintain Pricing Conditions)

  Notes: Check SAP OSS notes related to WRF_APC663 for any patches or updates.
  User-exits/BADIs: Custom logic might enforce markup requirements.
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WRF_APC663 indicates that the system does not allow price changes for the specified material(s) without a corresponding markup. To resolve it, maintain the required markup in the pricing or costing procedure or adjust the configuration if the markup is not necessary.
