• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK207 - Error in DELETE KEKO ?

  The SAP error message CK207, which states "Error in DELETE KEKO," typically occurs in the context of the Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with cost estimates and material master data. The error indicates that there is an issue with deleting entries from the KEKO table, which stores cost estimate header data.
  Causes of CK207 Error
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: The error may arise if there are inconsistencies or integrity issues in the data related to cost estimates. For example, if there are references to the cost estimate in other tables, the system may prevent deletion to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  Locked Entries: If the cost estimate is currently being used or locked by another process or user, the system will not allow deletion.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete entries from the KEKO table.
  
  
  Custom Code or Enhancements: If there are custom programs or enhancements that interact with the cost estimate data, they may inadvertently cause issues during the deletion process.
  
  
  Solutions to CK207 Error
  
  
  Check Data Integrity: Review the cost estimate and related data to ensure there are no inconsistencies. You can use transaction codes like CK13N (Display Cost Estimate) to check the status of the cost estimate.
  
  
  Release Locks: If the cost estimate is locked, identify the user or process that is holding the lock. You can use transaction code SM12 to view and manage locks.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to delete the cost estimate has the necessary authorizations. You can check this using transaction SU53 to analyze authorization issues.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Investigate if there are any dependent objects or references to the cost estimate in other tables (e.g., material master, production orders). You may need to delete or modify these dependencies first.
  
  
  Consult Custom Code: If there are custom programs or enhancements, review the code to ensure it is not interfering with the deletion process. You may need to debug or consult with the development team.
  
  
  Use Transaction CK40N: If you are trying to delete a cost estimate, consider using transaction CK40N (Change Cost Estimate) to manage the cost estimates properly.
