  The SAP error message CKMLDUVN100, which states "The distribution interval must end on &1," typically occurs in the context of Material Ledger (ML) and is related to the distribution of costs or the posting of actual costs in a specific period. This error indicates that the distribution interval you are trying to use does not align correctly with the expected end date for the distribution.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Date Range: The distribution interval you are trying to define does not match the expected end date. For example, if you are trying to distribute costs for a period that has already closed or is not valid, this error will occur.

  Solution:
  
  Check the Distribution Interval: Ensure that the distribution interval you are trying to use is valid and that the end date matches the expected date in the system.
  Open the Posting Period: If the period is closed, you may need to open it for posting. This can be done through the transaction code OB52, where you can adjust the posting periods for the relevant company code and controlling area.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the Material Ledger and ensure that they are set up correctly. This may involve reviewing the settings for the valuation area and the controlling area.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the configuration and handling of the Material Ledger and distribution intervals.
