• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKMLRUN136 - Background execution not possible for program &1 ?

  The SAP error message CKMLRUN136, which states "Background execution not possible for program &1," typically occurs when you attempt to run a program in the background that is not designed to be executed in that mode. This error is often associated with the Material Ledger (ML) functionality in SAP, particularly when running the Material Ledger closing program.
  Causes:
  
  Program Restrictions: The program you are trying to execute in the background may have restrictions that prevent it from running in that mode. Some programs are designed to run only in the foreground due to their interactive nature or the need for user input.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict certain programs from being executed in the background.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to execute the program in the background.
  System Settings: The system may have specific settings that limit background processing for certain types of jobs.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Run in Foreground: If the program is not designed for background execution, run it in the foreground instead. This is the simplest solution if the program requires user interaction.
  Check Program Attributes: Review the attributes of the program (transaction code SE38 or SA38) to see if it is marked as "Not executable in background." If it is, you will need to run it in the foreground.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to the program or the job scheduling in transaction SM37 or SM36 to ensure that there are no restrictions in place.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the program. You can check this in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or notes related to the specific program to see if there are any known issues or recommendations regarding background execution.
