CKMLMV160 - Details

• The SAP error message CKMLMV160 indicates that a predecessor or successor model has been created for a costing run. This typically occurs in the context of Material Ledger and Product Costing in SAP, particularly when dealing with actual costing and the management of cost estimates.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to create or process a costing run (for example, a material price determination or a cost estimate) while there is already a predecessor or successor model associated with that costing run. This can happen if:
  
  A costing run has already been executed for the same period.
  There are dependencies between different costing runs that have not been resolved.
  The system is trying to create a new costing model that conflicts with existing models.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Costing Runs: 
  
  Use transaction code CKMLCP (for Material Ledger) or CK11N (for cost estimates) to review existing costing runs. Identify
