• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKMLAVR751 - Run reference & already exists ?

  The SAP error message CKMLAVR751, which states "Run reference & already exists," typically occurs in the context of the Material Ledger (ML) during the execution of a closing run or when trying to create a new run reference for a material valuation.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when you attempt to create a new closing run or valuation run with a reference number that already exists in the system. The system does not allow duplicate run references to ensure data integrity and consistency in the valuation process.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Runs: 
  
  Use transaction code CKMLCP (for closing period) or CKMLAVR (for valuation run) to check the existing runs. Look for the run reference that you are trying to create and see if it already exists.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Run Reference: 
  
  If the run reference you are trying to use is already taken, you will need to choose a different, unique run reference for your new valuation or closing run.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive Old Runs: 
  
  If the existing run reference is no longer needed, you may consider deleting or archiving it, provided that it is permissible according to your organization's data retention policies. This can usually be done through the appropriate transaction codes or by consulting with your SAP administrator.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to Material Ledger and closing runs for any specific guidelines or best practices regarding run references.
  
  
  
  Check for System Issues: 
  
  If you believe that the run reference should not exist, there may be a system issue or inconsistency. In such cases, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or technical support team to investigate further.
