• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKMLWIP512 - Cost estimate number &1 was excluded from processing ?

  The SAP error message CKMLWIP512 indicates that a specific cost estimate (identified by the number &1) was excluded from processing during a cost estimate run, typically in the context of Material Ledger or Inventory Management. This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  Cost Estimate Status: The cost estimate may have a status that prevents it from being processed. For example, it might be marked as "locked" or "not released."
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the cost estimate, such as missing or incorrect master data (e.g., material master, BOM, routing).
  Costing Variant Issues: The costing variant used for the cost estimate may not be configured correctly or may not allow for the processing of certain cost estimates.
  Period Closing: The period for which the cost estimate is being processed may be closed, preventing any changes or processing of cost estimates.
  Material Status: The material associated with the cost estimate may have a status that restricts processing (e.g., "blocked" or "inactive").
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Cost Estimate Status: Review the status of the cost estimate in the system. If it is locked or not released, take the necessary steps to unlock or release it.
  Validate Data: Ensure that all relevant master data (material master, BOM, routing) is complete and accurate. Correct any inconsistencies found.
  Review Costing Variant: Check the configuration of the costing variant being used. Ensure it is set up to allow processing of the specific cost estimate.
  Open Period: Verify that the accounting period is open for processing. If it is closed, you may need to open it or wait until the next period.
  Material Status Check: Confirm that the material is not blocked or inactive. If it is, update the material status to allow processing.
