  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC664
  
  Text: Prices for material &1 &2 &3 cannot be modified without markup2
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the context of Product Costing or Pricing within SAP, especially when dealing with cost estimates or price changes for materials that are linked to a markup structure.
  
  The system is preventing the modification of prices for the specified material(s) because the price change is attempted without adjusting or considering the associated markup (markup2).
  In other words, the pricing procedure or costing variant requires that any price changes must be accompanied by a corresponding markup adjustment to maintain consistency in cost calculations or pricing logic.
  This is often controlled by configuration settings or user-exits that enforce markup rules to ensure that prices reflect the correct cost plus markup.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that when modifying prices for the material(s), the markup (often referred to as markup2) is also adjusted or maintained properly.
  Steps to resolve:
  
  
  Check the Pricing Procedure or Costing Variant:
  
  Verify if the pricing or costing procedure requires markup2 to be maintained.
  Review the configuration in transaction codes like CK11N (Create Cost Estimate) or pricing condition records.
  
  
  
  Adjust Markup2:
  
  When changing the price, also update the markup2 value accordingly.
  This might involve entering the markup manually or ensuring that the system calculates it automatically.
  
  
  
  Review User-Exits or Enhancements:
  
  Sometimes, custom logic enforces this rule.
  Check for any user-exits or BAdIs related to pricing or costing that might be causing this restriction.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or SAP Notes:
  
  Look for SAP Notes related to message WRF_APC664 for any patches or detailed explanations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjusting markup2, try modifying the price again.
  Ensure that the system accepts the changes without error.

To fix this, ensure that markup2 is properly handled during price changes, either by manual input or system calculation, and verify related configuration and custom logic.
