  The SAP error message CNV_10940_MESS003 indicates that there is an authorization issue when trying to perform an action in a remote system. This typically occurs during data migration or system conversion processes, especially when using tools like SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT).
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorizations for the user account that is attempting to perform the action in the remote system. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Roles or Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary roles or authorizations assigned in the remote system.
  Incorrect User Mapping: The user in the source system may not be correctly mapped to a user in the target system.
  System Configuration: The remote system may have specific configurations that restrict certain actions based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Log into the remote system with the user account that is generating the error.
  Use transaction code SU53 to check the last authorization check and identify which specific authorizations are missing.
  Review the roles assigned to the user in the remote system using transaction code PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If you identify missing authorizations, work with your SAP security team to assign the necessary roles to the user.
  Ensure that the user has the required authorizations for the specific actions being performed (e.g., data migration, data transfer).
  
  
  
  User Mapping:
  
  If you are using a user mapping mechanism, ensure that the user in the source system is correctly mapped to a user in the target system with the appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific migration or conversion tool you are using to understand the required authorizations.
