No prel/mixed cost est for Contr. level "Production Plant/Planning Plant"

What causes this issue?

You have assigned the plant-specific material view to the
<DS:GLOS.36F138F91B385A9EE10000009B38F984>Controlling level</>
Production Plant/Planning Plant. In this case, <ZH>no
<DS:GLOS.3526B76FAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>preliminary cost estimate</>
</> can be created for a
<DS:GLOS.3526B6F2AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>product cost collector</> for
the material. <DS:GLOS.3526B774AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>Work in process
</> and <DS:GLOS.359A41323EC34A00E10000009B38F984>scrap variances</>
must therefore be valuated using the
<DS:GLOS.3526B6DFAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>standard cost estimate</>.
If you want to confirm activity quantities in repetitive manufacturing,
the repetitive manufacturing profile must be assigned to a material
that allows confirmation with the data of the standard cost estimate.
It is not possible to confirm the activities on the basis of the
preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector. If the
standard cost estimate is used, the confirmation of activities is based
on the routing in the standard cost estimate, which can differ from the
routing in the production version in question. There can be problems
with the valuation of work in progress and scrap variances in the
following situations:
If the task list type and task list group of the routing used in the
standard cost estimate differs from the routing of the production
version
If the reporting point structure is changed
Furthermore, <ZH>no <DS:GLOS.3526B72EAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>mixed
costing</></> is possible when using the Controlling level Production
Plant/Planning Plant for the material.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you wish to avoid the following restrictions, discontinue processing
and select the Controlling level Production Version or BOM/Routing for
the material. Note that SAP recommends using the Controlling level
Production Version. Especially in repetitive manufacturing, you should
always use the Controlling level Production Version.
See the documentation <LS>Product Cost Controlling</> for additional
information on the Controlling level.
