CKMLAVR262 - Details

• The SAP error message CKMLAVR262, which states "Only one run per end period can be used in cost estimate," typically occurs in the context of Material Ledger and costing processes in SAP. This error indicates that there is an attempt to execute a cost estimate for a material that has already been processed for the specified period.
  
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Cost Estimates: The error arises when there is an attempt to run a cost estimate for a material in a period where a cost estimate has already been executed. SAP allows only one cost estimate run per period to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the Material Ledger or costing variant that are not aligned with the intended processes.
  Timing Issues: The cost estimate might be attempted after the period has been closed or finalized.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Cost Estimates: Verify if a cost estimate has already been executed for
