• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE/NC006 - Realignment run &1 can only be restored exclusively ?

  The SAP error message KE/NC006 indicates that a realignment run in the Controlling (CO) module cannot be restored because it can only be restored exclusively. This typically occurs in the context of the New General Ledger (New GL) or when dealing with realignment processes in CO.
  Cause:
  
  Exclusive Restoration Requirement: The error arises because the system requires that the realignment run be restored in an exclusive mode. This means that no other processes or transactions should be running that could interfere with the restoration.
  Concurrent Processes: If there are other users or processes accessing the same data or if there are ongoing transactions in the system, the restoration cannot proceed.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity. If the realignment run is locked by another process, it cannot be restored.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Active Processes: Ensure that no other users or processes are currently accessing the data related to the realignment run. You can use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) and SM66 (to monitor active processes) to identify any active sessions that might be causing the issue.
  Exclusive Mode: If you are trying to restore the realignment run, make sure to do it in an exclusive session. This may involve scheduling the restoration during off-peak hours when fewer users are active in the system.
  Transaction Management: If you find that there are transactions that are blocking the restoration, you may need to wait for those transactions to complete or coordinate with users to ensure that they are not working on related data.
  System Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue. You can use transaction SLG1 to view application logs.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP you are using, as there may be version-specific considerations or patches that address this issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KE30 (for realignment runs) and KE31 (for displaying realignment run results).
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to KE/NC006 for any specific fixes or recommendations provided by SAP.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the restoration of the realignment run.
  Backup: Always ensure that you have a backup of your data before performing operations that can affect data integrity.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or CO module support team for further assistance.
