This error often arises during the Material Ledger (ML) closing process or when trying to perform certain transactions that require consistency between these tables.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: The most common cause of this error is that there are entries in the CKMLPP table that do not have corresponding entries in the CKMLHD table. This inconsistency can occur due to various reasons, such as:

  Ensure that all postings are complete and that there are no orphaned entries.
