• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN037 - Network type & is not same as & in copied network ?

  The SAP error message CN037 indicates that there is a mismatch in the network types between the original network and the copied network in a project. This typically occurs when you attempt to copy a network (or a project) that has a different network type than the one you are trying to create or modify.
  Cause:
  The error arises due to the following reasons:
  
  Network Type Mismatch: The original network has a specific type (e.g., standard, maintenance, etc.), and the copied network is being created with a different type.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the project or network that enforce specific types for certain operations.
  User Input Error: The user may have inadvertently selected the wrong network type during the copying process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CN037 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Network Types: Verify the network type of the original network and the type you are trying to use for the copied network. Ensure they match.

  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction code for copying networks. For example, use transaction codes like CN21 (Create Network) or CN22 (Change Network) appropriately.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the network types and their implications, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for guidance.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify networks in the project.
