• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKMLAVR762 - More than one preceding run exists ?

  The SAP error message CKMLAVR762 ("More than one preceding run exists") typically occurs in the context of the Material Ledger (ML) during the execution of a process that requires a single preceding run, such as a closing or a valuation run. This error indicates that there are multiple previous runs that have not been processed or closed properly, which prevents the system from proceeding with the current operation.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Open Runs: The most common cause of this error is that there are multiple open or incomplete runs in the Material Ledger for the same period. This can happen if previous runs were not completed successfully or if there were interruptions during processing.
  Incorrect Configuration: Sometimes, configuration issues in the Material Ledger settings can lead to this error.
  Data Inconsistencies: Data inconsistencies or corruption in the Material Ledger tables can also trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CKMLAVR762 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Runs:
  
  Go to the transaction code CKMLCP (Material Ledger Closing) or CKMLAVR (Material Ledger Valuation Run) and check for any existing runs that are still open for the same period.
  Identify if there are multiple runs that need to be addressed.
  
  
  
  Complete or Delete Previous Runs:
  
  If there are incomplete runs, you may need to complete them. This can involve running the closing process again or correcting any issues that caused the previous runs to fail.
  If the previous runs are no longer needed, you can delete them using the appropriate transaction codes (e.g., CKMLCP for closing runs).
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the Material Ledger to ensure that they are set up correctly. This includes checking the settings for the valuation method and the period control.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs:
  
  Check the application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue. You can use transaction code SLG1 to view application logs.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks on the Material Ledger data to ensure there are no inconsistencies. This can be done using transaction codes like CKMLCP or CKMLAVR.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. They may provide specific notes or patches that address the issue.
