Answer 1

With this answer I could solve this error:
when a purchase order is referenced to a
Material/Plant and this Plant is not yet productive in ML! You can
check this in transaction CKM9.
Also this can be seen in transaction OMX1
(IMG: Controlling -> General Controlling ->
Multiple valuation approaches/Transfer prices -> Basic settings
-> Check Material ledger settings -> Activate Valuation Areas for
Material ledger) for valuation area 1111 and company code 1111 the
material ledger is active.
However, in transaction CKMLOH (This transaction is used to view
PO history of particular use where material ledger active as you can
switch between the currencies.):
If you know the PO click on the overview button (F2) and then Click
on the display button, you will see the error C+020. If this is so,thenplease either deactivate ML again or set it productive, but the current
state of the config will block these kind of postings since they would
result in corrupt data.
For more information about ML active please review the note 596558.
Also take a look to the notes 108374 and 425487 for your information.
Kindly note that ALL historical data in PRODUCTION system will be lost
with deactivation and activation of Material Ledger again.
It cannot be recovered after activating Material Ledger again!
Hope this would be enough!
Luck!
