  The SAP error message KG375 indicates that a top-down distribution process is either currently being processed or has failed (abended). This error typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) modules, particularly when dealing with cost allocations or distributions.
  Cause:
  
  
  Ongoing Process: The most common cause of this error is that the top-down distribution process is still running for the specified distribution number. SAP does not allow multiple processes to run simultaneously for the same distribution.
  
  
  Abended Process: If the process has abended, it may be due to various reasons such as:

  If the job has abended, review the job log for error messages that can provide more context on why it failed.
  Correct any identified issues based on the error messages in the job log.
  
  
  
  Restart the Process:
  
  If the job has abended and you have resolved the underlying issue, you can restart the distribution process.
  Ensure that all necessary data and configurations are correct before restarting.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the top-down distribution to ensure they are set up correctly.
