• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK128 - Material & in plant & has no accounting data ?

  The SAP error message CK128 indicates that a material in a specific plant does not have any accounting data associated with it. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when dealing with materials that are not fully set up in the system for financial accounting or controlling purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Material Master Setup: The material may not have been properly set up in the material master record for the relevant plant. Specifically, the accounting views may not have been maintained.
  Missing Valuation Class: The valuation class for the material may not be assigned, which is necessary for linking the material to the appropriate general ledger accounts.
  Inactive Material: The material might be marked as inactive or not available for use in the specified plant.
  Missing Costing Data: The material may not have any costing data maintained, which is essential for the costing process in SAP.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction code MM03 (Display Material) and check the material master data for the relevant plant.
  Ensure that the accounting views (such as Accounting 1 and Accounting 2) are maintained.
  
  
  
  Maintain Valuation Class:
  
  Ensure that the valuation class is assigned to the material. This can be done in the accounting view of the material master.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Costing Data:

  Check Plant-Specific Data:
