SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_10996 - Messages for archive conversion

• Message number: 074

• Message text: Internal delimitation table &1 contains more than one entry

What causes this issue?

When reading table &V1& (which will be used as the leading table for
conversion of the related archiving object), the program found that
that several different values were found for the target determination
object &V2&.
This table &V1& is used to determine the organizational unit to which
the data object that is going to be converted belongs, and if this unit
actually participates in the conversion or not.
(See also transaction CNV_10996_DTFLD)
The following participating organizational units were found:
&V3&
The following NON-participating organizational units were found:
&V4&

System Response

By default, the data object is covered by the conversion because at
least ONE entry for a participating organizational unit has been found
in the leading table.

How to fix this error?

Analyze the relevant fields for conversion (such as SAKNR) and the
mapping table to find out if the old values may exist in the
participating as well as in the NON-participating organizational units.
If this is not the case, you can ignore the warning.
&FURTHER_SOURCES_OF_INF&
This message may be ignored, for example, if you find out that the
value to be converted does not occur in the mapping table at all.
