  The SAP error message CKMLWIP051 indicates that a specific material is blocked in a particular valuation area, which prevents certain operations from being performed on that material. This error typically arises in the context of Material Ledger (ML) and inventory valuation processes.
  Cause:
  The error message CKMLWIP051 can occur due to several reasons:
