How To Fix CKMLMV040 - Material does not contain any input objects

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CKMLMV - Message class for quantity structure tool

• Message number: 040

• Message text: Material does not contain any input objects

What causes this issue?

The actual BOM for the material does not contain materials or activity
types/business processes as inputs. This is a data inconsistency, as the
step 'Determine Sequence' has recognized the material as relevant for
the multilevel price determination.

System Response

Multilevel price determination processing is terminated.

How to fix this error?

It is possible that the results of the step 'Determine Sequence' are not
current. Execute the step 'Determine Sequence' again.
If you are using BAdI CKML_COST_SPLIT then you should check your impleme
ntation. You need to make sure that method GET_COST_SPLIT delivers the
same result for the same input parameters when it is run during sequence
determination as during multilevel price determination.
If this does not solve the problem, you are advised to get in contact
with SAP Support.
