• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK069 - Costing run already exists ?

  The SAP error message CK069, which states "Costing run already exists," typically occurs during the costing process in the Controlling (CO) module when you attempt to create a new costing run that has the same parameters as an existing one. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to perform a product costing run or a cost estimate.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Costing Run: The most common cause is that a costing run with the same parameters (such as costing variant, date, and other criteria) has already been executed.
  Incomplete Previous Run: If a previous costing run was not completed successfully, it may still be locked or marked as existing.
  System Configuration: There may be specific settings in the system that prevent multiple runs with the same parameters.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Costing Runs: 
  
  Use transaction code CK40N (or CK11N for single cost estimate) to check for existing costing runs. Look for any runs that match the parameters you are trying to use.
  If you find an existing run that is not needed, you can delete or reverse it if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Use Different Parameters: 
  
  If you need to perform a new costing run, consider changing the parameters (e.g., costing variant, date) to avoid conflicts with existing runs.
  
  
  
  Complete or Cancel Previous Runs: 
  
  If a previous costing run is incomplete, you may need to complete it or cancel it before starting a new one.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks: 
  
  Sometimes, the system may have locks on certain objects. You can check for locks using transaction code SM12 and release any unnecessary locks.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to costing runs for any specific guidelines or troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
