CKBK041 - Details

• The SAP error message CKBK041 indicates that the valuation date specified in a transaction falls outside the defined costing period. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform a costing operation (like a material valuation or a cost estimate) for a date that is not within the range of the active costing periods in the system.
  
  Cause:
  
  Costing Period Configuration: The costing period for the material or product has not been set up correctly, or the period is closed.
  Valuation Date: The valuation date you are trying to use is either in the past or future relative to the defined costing periods.
  Period Locking: The period may be locked for posting, which prevents any costing activities from being performed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Costing Periods:
  
  Go to the transaction code OKP1 (for controlling area) or OKP2 (for cost center) to check the defined costing periods.
  Ensure that the costing period you are trying to use is open and active.
