  The SAP error message CNV_10020228 typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or other data migration tools. This error indicates that a target field specified in the mapping does not exist in the target structure, and as a result, the system has set an exclusion for that field.
  Cause:
  
  
  Field Mapping Issues: The target field specified in the mapping does not exist in the target database or structure. This can happen if:
  
  The field was removed or renamed in the target system.
  The field is not part of the target data model.
  There is a typo or incorrect field name in the mapping configuration.
  
  
  
  Configuration Errors: The data migration configuration may not be set up correctly, leading to references to non-existent fields.
  
  
  Version Mismatch: If there are differences in the versions of the source and target systems, certain fields may not be available in the target.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Existence: Verify that the target field (&2-&3) exists in the target structure. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the structure of the target table.
  Reviewing the data model of the target system to ensure the field is present.
  
  
  
  Update Mapping: If the field does not exist, you may need to:
  
  Remove the mapping for that field if it is not required.
  Adjust the mapping to point to a different field that serves a similar purpose.
  If the field is necessary, consider adding it to the target structure if feasible.
  
  
  
  Review Migration Configuration: Ensure that the migration configuration is correctly set up and that all necessary fields are included in the mapping.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific migration tool you are using to understand the expected fields and structures.
