• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKMLAVR108 - Internal Error: Overflow of cumulation for object &1 ?

  The SAP error message CKMLAVR108, which states "Internal Error: Overflow of cumulation for object &1," typically occurs in the context of Material Ledger (ML) and is related to the cumulative values that exceed the allowed limits for a specific object, such as a material or cost object.
  Cause:
  
  
  Cumulative Value Overflow: The error is primarily caused by the cumulative values for a material or cost object exceeding the maximum limit that can be stored in the database. This can happen due to:
  
  Large volumes of transactions being processed.
  Incorrect configuration or data entries leading to inflated cumulative values.
  Issues with the periodic closing process or data inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Data Type Limitations: The underlying data types used to store cumulative values may have a defined maximum limit, and when this limit is exceeded, the overflow error occurs.

  Adjusting or reversing erroneous transactions.
  Running the necessary correction programs or reports to fix inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Archiving Old Data: If the cumulative values are high due to historical data, consider archiving old data that is no longer needed for daily operations. This can help reduce the cumulative totals.
  
  
  Increase Data Type Limits: If feasible, consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to explore options for increasing the limits of the data types used for cumulative values. This may involve database changes or adjustments in the SAP configuration.
