• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKMLAVR753 - Cost centers can be credited only by a posting run ?

  The SAP error message CKMLAVR753 indicates that cost centers can only be credited through a posting run. This error typically occurs in the context of the Material Ledger (ML) when trying to post a transaction that involves crediting a cost center directly, which is not allowed in the system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system is designed to handle cost center postings through a batch process known as a "posting run." This is a part of the Material Ledger functionality, which ensures that all postings related to material movements and cost allocations are processed in a controlled manner. Direct postings to cost centers outside of this process are not permitted, leading to the error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Posting Method: Ensure that you are using the correct method for posting transactions that involve cost centers. Instead of trying to credit the cost center directly, you should initiate a posting run.
  
  
  Execute a Posting Run:
  
  Go to the transaction code CKMLCP (for the Material Ledger).
  Execute the posting run for the relevant period. This will process all the necessary postings, including those related to cost centers.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you frequently encounter this error, review the configuration settings for the Material Ledger and cost center accounting to ensure they align with your business processes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed instructions on how to perform posting runs and manage cost center postings.
  
  
  Check for Open Periods: Ensure that the period you are trying to post to is open for posting. If the period is closed, you will need to open it or post to a different period.
  
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform posting runs and manage cost center transactions.
  
  
  Related Information:
