  The SAP error message FBV_CUST004 indicates that there are existing balance sheet valuation runs for the specified valuation alternative. This typically occurs when you attempt to execute a valuation run (for example, in the context of asset accounting or financial accounting) while there are already existing runs for the same valuation alternative, which can lead to inconsistencies or conflicts in the data.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Valuation Runs: The primary cause of this error is that there are already completed or ongoing valuation runs for the specified valuation alternative. This can happen if:
  
  A valuation run was previously executed and not properly cleared.
  Another user is currently processing a valuation run for the same alternative.
  The system has not been updated to reflect the completion of a previous run.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Valuation Runs:
  
  Use transaction codes such as S_ALR_87012086 or S_ALR_87012087 to review existing valuation runs for the specified valuation alternative.
  Identify if there are any runs that are still open or incomplete.
  
  
  
  Clear or Complete Existing Runs:
  
  If you find that there are existing runs that are no longer needed, you may need to delete or reverse them, depending on your organization's policies.
  If a run is still in progress, you may need to wait for it to complete before starting a new one.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the status of existing runs, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure that you are not interrupting any critical processes.
  
  
  
  System Configuration:
  
  Ensure that your system configuration allows for the execution of multiple valuation runs if that is a requirement for your business processes. This may involve adjusting settings in the configuration for asset accounting or financial accounting.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Sometimes, the error can be due to database locks. Check if there are any locks on the relevant tables and resolve them if necessary.
