Message 476 Routing does not match selection

Question

Hi
I am just starting to try and learn some CO for material cost estimates.  I am trying to get a planned cost estimate that shows a labor cost component and machine hours cost component.  I think I am not seeing it because of this message.
Can anyone tell me just what this is for or guide me on what I need to do to get the cost compnents i wnt on my estimate.

Hi
Hope this brief helps
Standard cost estimate is a tool for establishing prices for materials. It is used to calculate the costs of goods manufactured and the costs of goods sold for each product unit.
In order to establish the cost estimate with quantity structure of a material, the bills of materials and routing of the material must exists for the materials to be costed.
The cost estimate with quantity structure uses the material master data to determine the material consumption and internal activities required to produce the product.
Costing calculates the cost of goods manufactured for each material made in-house in the BOM structure.
Preliminary cost estimate is done in planning cost stage so as to know how much we need to produce the materials. This is as good as planned cost and once the production is finished, the Standard cost estimate is done periodically to update the finished material price in the materials master.
Whereas SAP provides in built facility of mixed costing by entering mixed ratio for production versions. In order to utilize this, REM backflush is to be done using data from the preliminary cost estimate of the production version. Postings will be done with the data available in the preliminary cost estimate but the material can have a standard cost estimate which will have a weighted average cost estimate depending upon the mixed ratio of the production version maintained for the material. Main advantage of using mixed costing is, it can valuate in-house manufactured inventory with precise costing and update stock values in balance sheet.
