• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV20201343 - Number range object is year-dependent: To-year is initial! ?

  The SAP error message CNV20201343 indicates that there is an issue with a number range object that is year-dependent, specifically that the "To-year" is not set (i.e., it is initial or empty). This typically occurs in scenarios where number ranges are defined for specific years, and the system expects a valid year to be specified.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range object in question is configured to be year-dependent, meaning it requires both a "From-year" and a "To-year" to be defined. If the "To-year" is left empty or not properly configured, this error will occur.
  Data Migration or Conversion: This error can also arise during data migration or conversion processes where the system is trying to assign number ranges but finds that the configuration is incomplete.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the name of the number range object that is causing the issue.
  Check the configuration for the year-dependent number range. Ensure that both the "From-year" and "To-year" fields are filled in correctly.
  If the "To-year" is empty, set it to a valid year that corresponds to your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust Year-Dependent Settings:
  
  If you are using a specific year for your number ranges, ensure that the settings reflect the correct range. For example, if you are currently in the year 2023, the "To-year" should be set to 2023 or a future year if applicable.
  
  
  
  Review Migration or Conversion Settings:
  
  If this error occurs during a migration or conversion process, review the settings and mappings to ensure that they align with the number range configurations in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific number range object for additional guidance on configuration and usage.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the number range is functioning as expected.
