CK40N - "still open" material in "release" step

Hello everyone,
We have just released our 2008 standard cost. We use CK40N to do the whole thing, including the marking and releasing of the costs.
Under the "release" step, the status is green, there are no errors, but there are materials "still open" indicated. I can't figure out how to get the list of these "still open" materials.
Under previous steps (from selection all the way through marking, there are no open materials).
My question:
1. What's the easiest way to find out if there are indeed "still open" materials?
2. If there are, how do I fix them? Especially since everything seems to be processed all the way to marking.
3. If there really is no open material, then what does this number mean?
Any suggestion or help is really appreciated, since this really confuse us.
Thank you,
Suri

It seems that occasionally there are some issues (tho i still cant find what they might be) which prevent SAP from Marking or releasing a standard cost for a material.  Resulting in the material appearing in the "Still open" statistics on the cost run.
In order to resolve this, try the following;
Firstly, try just re-executing that stage of the cost run by hitting the execute button for that step.
If this does not work then try the following;
Whilst still in the “Edit cost run screen”, in the transaction box, enter the transaction “=CKSU” and hit enter.  SAP will run for a few seconds and re-calculate the statistics so that the “Still open” Quantity is added to the “Errors” column. 
Then re-execute that step of the cost run by hitting the execute button. 
SAP should re-process those entries which were not marked / released previously.
Hope this helps!

  • CK40N - Still open even after applying the note

    Hello Everyone!
    Greetings!
    Experiencing issues in the costing run. SAP ECC 5.0
    After the marking job completion observed that there are some u2018Still Openu2019 items. After some research found the SAP notes u2013 0000542790, 0001321242 & 0001402978.
    SAP note 0000542790 is not applicable to us as the client is on SAP ECC 5.0. For the short term fix, as per the note 542790 have executed the command u2018=cksuu2019. It worked.
    To apply the notes 0001321242, 0001402978 was testing in the test systems and I still see the u2018STILL OPENu2019 items even after implementing the SAP notes 0001321242 and 0001402978. Both the notes have been sucessfully implemented and also verified the corrections.
    Any suggestions/advice, please. Thanks in advance !

    Hi Satish,
    There can be valid reasons for the 'still open' Materials.
    The following are reasons for 'still open'
    1. the materials were included in another costing run so there was an
    overlap in released cost estimates
    2. there was already a released cost estimate for those materials so
    the system did not allow for another one - this could have been costed
    manually and released manually (ck11) rather than in ck40n
    3. there was a stop in the job that ran to release them (you mentioned
    periods were closed). After the restart, some of the statistics could
    have been incorrectly updated.
    Furthermore, please see the note:
    542790     Inconsistency correction: Costing run statistics
    If need need to find the 'still open' Materials.
    If you run tCode 'SE16' and view the table table KALM which contains
    the entries for all materials costed within the costing run.
    Field 'KALM-FEH_STATUS is the cost estimate's status after step costing.
    1) Find cost estimates created originally within cstg run
    So, you have to select all entries of KALM for the specific costing
    run which are having KALM-FEH_STATUS = 'KA'.
    This is the number of cost estimates which should have been marked in
    the later marking step.
    2) Find cost estimates released successfully
    The set of released cost estimates is given by selection of table
    KEKO: specify KALAID and KALADAT and FEH_STA = 'FR'.
    3) Find missing cost estimates
    Compare the results of 1) and 2):
    Which material/plant have an KALM entry, but not a released cost
    cost estimate ?
      > this will be the set of cost estimates you are looking for...

  • At the time of CK40N what ever marked material few material not release

    Hi
    At the time of Standard Cost Run in CK40N Time toal material 70,
    At the time of Marking total 70 material is marked,
    But at the time of Release time 65 materials only marked how to resolved this issue.
    Regards,
    R.Kumar.

    Dear Kumar
    Normally this happens when at the time of release any master data maintenance is going on or some times any material movement is going on. So you can try to release again I hope it will be done.

  • CKMLCP closing entry still open items

    Hi Gurus,
    Firstly we have WIPs.
    In the closing entry step we have 24 still open materials. We got the error message m8 147 "the account determination for key <chart of account name> PRM 1100  is not maintained " . I have checked the PRM acc assignment in OBYC and there is an account assignment.
    The system gives error message f5 846 also "the debit/credit indicator inconsistent".
    The number of material in ML document is 1 in the parameters. In addition all three paramaters (revaluations etc) are selected.
    I have nothing to do without opening OSS message. Here is the last chance before that. As you know we have to close the period in a few days.
    Thanks in advance for your valuable replies.
    Ahmet

    Hi,
    The problem of F5846 in CKMLCP is mostly caused by the wrong customizing 
    of account determination in OBYC. The debit or credit posting key is     
    NOT defined or incorrectly defined.                                                                               
    If message M8147 is also issued in the log, you can find which           
    transaction has problem,i.e. WPA                                                                               
    The missing entries for the posting keys can be displayed via tables     
    T030B and T030R. The posting keys can be defined in OBYC. Please         
    check the settings in OBYC according to the long text of the messages    
    in the log.                                                              
    To eliminate the problem you should maintain transaction OBYC            
    accordingly.                                                                               
    You should also maintain debit/credit indicators for posting keys.       
    Please read the sap note 1077957 for more information about this error.                                                                               
    1077957    Error message M8 147 when you make a closing entry                                                                               
    Please also check the note 908737 which provides further clarifications  
    on how the system works in step 'Post closing' in transaction CKMLCP.                                                                               
    I hope this information clarifies better the situation.                                                                               
    Best regards,

  • I am trying to update Mozilla on my computer, but every time I try, it tells me to close Mozilla, even when it is. Is there a way to see if something is still open?

    Mozilla keeps telling me to download its newest version. So I go to do it. I save the file, click on run, then the Mozilla downloading wizard comes up. I keep on clicking "Next" until the it gives me the option of downloading with common settings or customizing my own settings. I click next and then it checks my existing installation. It tells me to close Mozilla. That's all it says. Close Mozilla. So I do. Then I click next again, it checks my installation again, then says I must close Mozilla. After I closed it. I suspect there's an add-on or a widget that is still open, I don't how to check what's still open. And if that's not the problem, then what is?!

  • After upgrade from 34 to 35, control click still opens new tab but new tab won't load upon selection. i have to click address and press enter or click go

    I've used Firefox for many years, I really like it and have been readily recommending it to others.
    However after finally upgrading to 35.0.1 from 34.x I now have a very annoying and time-consuming issue.
    So much so that I'm thinking of attempting a downgrade!
    I didn't really want to upgrade but Firefox kept bothering me and I inadvertently accepted. Is there a way to switch this upgrade reminder off?
    Anyway, previously I would Ctrl-click a link and it would open a new tab but not jump to it. It would remain unloaded until I clicked it. Then it would load as normal.
    After the upgrade, I Ctrl-click a link and it still opens a new unloaded tab. So far, so good. Now however, when I click the new unloaded tab, it just sits there and does nothing. I have to click the URL in the address bar and either press <Enter> or click the 'Go' arrow.
    I use this feature sometimes 100s of times a day so this is extremely annoying as it adds considerable time and extra clicks to each new link I click.
    I'm wondering if it could be a problem with one of my plugins. Can I temporarily disable them all at once to see if that's it?
    I will try disabling the tab related plugins.
    I've tried toggling 'Don't load tabs until selected' on the Tabs page from Tools menu, Options.
    Any help would be thoroughly appreciated as I would like to return to being a Firefox Fan

    It is unlikely this issue is to do with Firefox upgrading. Firefox 36 will come out any day soon you should then be on that rather than considering an outdated Firefox 34 which is now not secure, and not supported.
    * See don't [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    You have not listed your plugins, and Yes you could try using Firefox's add-on manager to make sure they are all set as click to activate or even temporarily set as never activate.
    I am not familiar with the add-on
    * UnloadTab 0.24.7 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unloadtab/
    That certainly may be part of the problem try deactivating that with Firefox's addon manager. For all I know this may be the intended behaviour of that addon.
    Also troubleshoot the issue with Firefox's safe mode, remembering that does NOT disable plugins you will still need to do that manually.
    * [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    Please post back with how you get on and what you have tried, Including upgrading to Firefox 36 when that is available.

  • How do I block a popup window that I have allowed to open on Firefox once? I now have the popup blocker set to block all sites, but the popup still opens every time I open Firefox or open (sometimes) a new tab.

    How do I block a popup? I allowed this popup to open once. Now I have set the popup blocker to block all sites but this popup still opens every time I open Firefox and sometimes (usually) when I open a new tab.
    I Have stopped and restarted Firefox multiple times.
    I have rebooted the computer.
    I have set the tools/options/content/block pop-up windows/exceptions to block all sites (no exceptions).
    I have no other issues with Firefox.
    I have Adblock plus (with (1) subscription) installed
    I am currently using Firefox version 4.0 on Windows7 Ultimate.

    Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
    The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    Here are some other things to check:
    (1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    (2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
    right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
    For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    (3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
    (4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Hopefully that cures it.

  • Additional PR release step while using standard workflow WS20000077

    Our current PR release strategy is overall release and based on 3 characteristics: doc type, creation indicator and total value of PR. Release code is relevant to standard workflow WS20000077 with role resolution using user-exit.  User exit is based on the position of PR creator to navigate HR org structure for assigning manager who has sufficient release authority as workflow approver.
    There is a request for additional release step in case the PR contains item for a particular material group or fixed vendor, then the 1st release step should be taken by a dedicated position/user.
    I found that it is quite confusing while PR release strategy is overall release but referring PR item level data.  Please advise is it possible and how to implement the additional release step.  Thanks.

    Thanks for your quick response.
    I also think about this to keep workflow side untouch by including one additional release code in MM release strategy configuration.   Unfortunately material group is item-wise, material group of item 1 may not be the same as item 2 (unless we restrict all items' material group to be identical by user-exit).  Otherwise, I'm not sure how to incorporate this into a document level overall release strategy.

  • InDesign says file still open when it is not

    I have experienced this poblem in InDesign CS4 & 5. It seems worse in CS5. When I finish with project I am working on and close out then I want to move the folder, rename it or delete it. I am unable to do this because the error message says there is still a file open even though there is not. I have closed out of InDesign and any programs where I have been working on linked files and still I get the file is still open message. I have even rebooted the computer and still receive that message when I try to move, rename or delete the folder or file. The only thing that seems to work is to leave the computer off overnight. By morning the files have somehow been released to let me do as I want to them.
    I am currently work in with InDesign CS5 on Windows 7 platform. However I experienced the same issue (to a lesser degree) when using InDesign CS4 on Windows XP.
    Have others experienced this problem? If so is there anything I can do fix it. It is getting very annoying.

  • How do I unlock an InDesign CC file that thinks it is still open?

    My team works on a directly on the server with Macs running both Lion and Mountain Lion and Adobe CC. Sometimes InDesign crashes and leaves the file in the open state and renders the file unable to open, copy or duplicate. Previous versions of InDesign would at least allow you to copy the file that it thought was still open. Now with CC you cannot do anything with that file. Even deleting the .lDLK file in the terminal does not release that file. I know that it is a protection, but it is killing files.

  • Additional PR release step in current release strategy

    Our current PR release strategy is overall release and based on 3 characteristics: doc type, creation indicator and total value of PR. release code is relevant to standard workflow WS20000077 with role resolution using user-exit.  User exit is based on the position of PR creator to navigate HR org structure for assigning manager who has sufficient release authority as workflow approver.

    Hi Arghadip,
    Thanks for your reply.  My intention to create different doc type is for separate set of release strategy.
    In current release strategy, for example, if doc type = NB, creation indicator = manual and the total value of PR is $1K, then the PR requires release code A1 for approval and the approval is align with the company finance policy. The manager (with release authority A1) of the PR creator then selected by the user exit and assigned with workflow task.
    For the request for additional release step, if doc type = ZS, creation indicator = manual and the total value of PR is $1K, then the PR requires release codes AA and A1 (new release strategy).  The user exit will assign a dedicated position/user (not necessary the manager of the PR creator) for release code AA, and then assign the manager of the PR creator for release code A1. Therefore, even the total value of PR is also $1K, but since the PR item contains material group 80501, then the PR require an additional approval on top of the $1K financial approval.
    Your comment is welcome.  Thanks again.

  • CK40N - Update for material with price control 'V'

    i Experts,
    When im running standard cost estimate in CK40N, say for material types semi finished. The components that is raw materials of the SFG is also updated with the price, meaning for a raw material with price control 'V' has a price of 10, after
    releasing the cost estimate for the SFG, when i look into the material master of raw material, the price of 10 is also updated
    in the standard price.
    I am not sure why this is happening, i believe it should not happen. Because in the valuation variant, if i give the strategy as standard price, this price is easily picked up. And more over with price control 'V', i can change the standard price. Can anybody throw some light on this.
    Best regards
    gj

    Hi Rakesh,
    Thanks for the information. But i do agree even during release there is no impact on the inventory. But in my cost variant, say in PPC1, if i give the strategy say 1. standard price 2. moving average price, during cost estimate run, its going to take the standard price for the material irrespective of the price derived automatically for moving average price. For eg in our case for raw material with price control 'V' after sce run if the standard price is 10 and moving average price is 14, as per strategy of PPC1 above its going to take 10 and not 14.
    Is there any other way to avoid this. Please correct me if i had went wrong somewhere.
    Best regards
    gj

  • Fiscal year still open

    Hi
    I  am doing year end activities and followed the procedures as per  steps ( down loaded from net ).I have seen OAAQ  and it shows year closed as 2010.But when I try to run F.07 ( in test run ) ,it gives a warning message that "Fiscal year 2010 i still open for company code 1abc ". What I am missing here ? Is any other transaction code  there like OAAQ where I can check  ? I have checked OB52 and  has open period only 2011.What steps can be missing ?
    kindly suggest me .
    Thanks
    Satya

    Hi Satya,
    There are lot of activites to look at the time of year ending, as per your message OAAQ is a transaction where you can see the year closed for asset postings.
    Just have a look at the below thread which gives you a clear understanding on the closing activities monthly and yearly.
