• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKECP119 - Costing has already been completed. No changes possible. ?

  The SAP error message CKECP119, which states "Costing has already been completed. No changes possible," typically occurs in the context of product costing in SAP. This error indicates that the costing process for a particular material or product has already been finalized, and as a result, no further changes can be made to the cost estimates or related data.
  Cause:
  
  Finalized Costing: The primary cause of this error is that the costing run for the material has already been completed and saved in the system. Once costing is finalized, the system locks the data to prevent any modifications.
  Costing Lock: The system may have a lock on the costing data to ensure data integrity and consistency, especially if the costing is linked to financial reporting or inventory valuation.
  Costing Variant Settings: The settings in the costing variant may also restrict changes after a certain point in the costing process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Costing Status: Verify the status of the costing for the material in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., CK13N for displaying cost estimates) to see if the costing is indeed completed.
  Re-Run Costing: If changes are necessary, you may need to reverse the completed costing. This can be done by using the transaction code CK24 (for reversing cost estimates) or by creating a new cost estimate with a different version.
  Use a Different Version: If you need to make changes, consider creating a new cost estimate in a different version (e.g., version 2) that allows for modifications.
  Consult with Finance Team: If the costing is linked to financial reporting, consult with your finance team to understand the implications of reversing or modifying the costing.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the costing variant to ensure that they align with your business processes and allow for the necessary flexibility.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CK11N (Create Cost Estimate), CK13N (Display Cost Estimate), CK24 (Reverse Cost Estimate), and CK40N (Costing Run).
  Costing Variants: Understand the costing variant settings, as they dictate how costing is processed and what restrictions may apply.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed guidance on costing processes and error handling.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform costing activities, as restrictions may also lead to errors.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in SAP Controlling (CO) for further assistance.
