• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACEPS054 - A run has already been carried out in company code &1 with key date &3 ?

  The SAP error message ACEPS054 indicates that a run has already been executed for a specific company code and key date. This typically occurs in the context of processes such as year-end closing, financial reporting, or other periodic processing tasks where a specific run is expected to be unique for a given company code and date.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Run: The most common cause of this error is that a process (like a closing run) has already been executed for the specified company code and key date. This could happen if:
  
  The user mistakenly attempts to run the process again.
  A previous run was not properly completed or was left in a state that still registers it as "active."
  There may be a misunderstanding about the timing or frequency of the runs.

  Review Logs:

  Use a Different Key Date: 
  
  If the process allows, consider using a different key date for the run if the business process permits it.
