• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV20551063 - Confirmation by user &: Delete PERNR as part of company code deletion ?

  The SAP error message CNV20551063 typically occurs during the process of deleting a company code in the SAP system. This error indicates that there are personnel numbers (PERNR) associated with the company code that need to be deleted before the company code itself can be removed. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  The error arises because there are existing employee records (PERNR) linked to the company code you are trying to delete. SAP requires that all related data, including personnel records, be removed before the company code can be deleted.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Related Personnel Numbers:
  
  Use transaction codes such as PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to identify the personnel numbers associated with the company code.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive Personnel Records:
  
  If the personnel records are no longer needed, you can delete them using transaction PA30. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  If you need to retain the data for historical purposes, consider archiving the personnel records instead of deleting them.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or related data (such as payroll data, time data, etc.) that might prevent the deletion of the personnel records.
  
  
  
  Retry Company Code Deletion:
  
  Once all associated personnel records have been deleted or archived, attempt to delete the company code again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete personnel records and company codes.
  Backup: Always take a backup of the data before performing deletions, especially in production environments.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or HR team for specific procedures related to your organization's policies on data deletion and archiving.
  Testing: If possible, perform these actions in a test environment before applying them in production to avoid unintended data loss.
  
  If you continue to face issues or if the situation is complex, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your internal IT support team for further assistance.
