• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKMLRUN127 - The costing run is locked by user &1. Only display is possible. ?

  The SAP error message CKMLRUN127 indicates that a costing run is currently locked by a specific user, and as a result, only display actions are permitted. This typically occurs in the context of Material Ledger and costing runs in SAP, where multiple users may attempt to access or modify the same costing run simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Active Costing Run: A costing run is currently being processed by another user, which locks the run to prevent data inconsistencies.
  User Lock: The user who initiated the costing run has not yet completed or released it, leading to a lock on the process.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to allow only one active costing run at a time for a specific period or for specific materials.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Completion: If another user is running the costing process, you may need to wait until they complete their run. You can check with the user who has the lock to see when they expect to finish.
  Identify the Locking User: Use transaction code SM12 to identify the user who has locked the costing run. You can look for locks related to the costing run and see which user is holding the lock.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations and it is appropriate to do so, you can manually release the lock using transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still processing.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, costing runs may be scheduled as background jobs. You can check transaction SM37 to see if there are any background jobs related to costing that are still running.
  Review Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the configuration settings for costing runs to see if adjustments can be made to allow for more flexibility.
