• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKMLAVR754 - Cost centers can be credited only at actual prices ?

  The SAP error message CKMLAVR754 indicates that there is an issue with the way costs are being allocated to cost centers in the context of actual costing. Specifically, this error occurs when there is an attempt to credit a cost center using a price that is not an actual price. In SAP, cost centers can only be credited with actual prices, which are the prices that reflect the actual costs incurred.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Price Type: The transaction is trying to use a standard price or a planned price instead of an actual price for the cost center.
  Cost Center Configuration: The cost center may not be set up to handle the type of transaction being processed.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may not be configured correctly, leading to the use of incorrect pricing.
  Posting Period: The posting period may be closed, preventing the use of actual prices for transactions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Price Type: Ensure that the transaction is using actual prices. You can do this by reviewing the pricing conditions in the material master or the transaction being processed.
  Review Cost Center Configuration: Verify that the cost center is configured correctly to accept actual price postings. This may involve checking the cost center settings in the controlling (CO) module.
  Material Master Review: Check the material master record for the relevant material to ensure that it is set up for actual costing and that the actual price is available.
  Open Posting Period: Ensure that the posting period is open for the transaction you are trying to process. If the period is closed, you may need to open it or post in a different period.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your system configuration.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CKMLCP (Actual Costing) or CKM3N (Material Price Analysis) to analyze the situation further.
