• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK331 - Costing date to changed by system to end of period & ?

  The SAP error message CK331 indicates that the costing date has been automatically changed by the system to the end of the period. This typically occurs during the costing process in SAP, particularly when dealing with material valuation and cost estimates.
  Cause:
  
  Costing Date Configuration: The system is configured to use the end of the period as the costing date when certain conditions are met, such as when the costing date falls outside the allowed range for the period.
  Period Closing: If the period for which you are trying to perform the costing is closed, the system will automatically adjust the costing date to the last day of the period.
  Costing Variant Settings: The settings in the costing variant may dictate that the costing date should be adjusted under specific circumstances.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Period Status: Ensure that the period you are trying to cost is open. If it is closed, you may need to open it or adjust your costing date to a valid open period.
  Adjust Costing Date: If you need to use a specific costing date, ensure that it falls within an open period. You can manually adjust the costing date in the transaction where you are encountering the error.
  Review Costing Variant: Check the settings of the costing variant being used. Ensure that the settings align with your business requirements and that they allow for the desired costing date.
