• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KU344 - CKRCO records were not completely deleted ?

  The SAP error message KU344 indicates that the CKRCO records (which are related to the cost estimate) were not completely deleted during a process, typically when trying to delete a cost estimate or when there are inconsistencies in the data.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Deletion Process: The deletion process may have been interrupted or not completed successfully.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the database that prevent the complete deletion of the CKRCO records.
  Dependencies: Other records or dependencies may still reference the CKRCO records, preventing their deletion.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations may also lead to incomplete deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other records that depend on the CKRCO records. This may involve checking related cost estimates or other linked data.
  Manual Deletion: If the automatic deletion process fails, you may need to manually delete the CKRCO records using transaction codes like CKR1 (for deleting cost estimates) or CKR2 (for changing cost estimates).
  Database Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the database to identify and resolve any inconsistencies. This can often be done using transaction codes like CKM3N or CKM3.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context on why the deletion failed.
  Re-run the Deletion Process: After addressing any issues, try to re-run the deletion process to see if it completes successfully.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP Notes often provide patches or specific instructions for resolving known issues.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.

  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting the deletion has the necessary authorizations to perform the action.
