• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK722 - More than & materials should be locked ?

  The SAP error message CK722 ("More than & materials should be locked") typically occurs during the costing process in SAP, particularly when dealing with material costing in the Controlling (CO) module. This error indicates that the system is trying to lock more materials than the allowed limit for a particular costing run.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Lock Limit: SAP has a predefined limit on the number of materials that can be locked simultaneously during a costing run. If the number of materials exceeds this limit, the error CK722 is triggered.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to allow a specific number of materials to be locked at one time, and this configuration may not be suitable for the current operation.
  Concurrent Processes: If multiple users or processes are trying to lock materials at the same time, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce the Number of Materials: Try to limit the number of materials you are processing in a single costing run. Break down the costing process into smaller batches that do not exceed the locking limit.
  Check Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in the system to see if the limit for locked materials can be adjusted. This may require access to the configuration settings in the SAP system.
  Review Concurrent Processes: Ensure that no other users or processes are trying to lock the same materials simultaneously. Coordinate with your team to avoid conflicts.
  Use Transaction Codes: If you are using a specific transaction code for costing, check if there are any options to limit the number of materials being processed at once.
