• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20000089 - Fiscal year & not possible ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20000089, which states "Fiscal year & not possible," typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or similar tools. This error indicates that there is an issue with the fiscal year settings in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Fiscal Year: The fiscal year specified in the migration data does not exist in the target system. This could happen if the fiscal year has not been defined or if there is a mismatch between the source and target systems.
  Fiscal Year Variant Issues: The fiscal year variant assigned to the company code may not match the fiscal year being referenced in the migration data.
  Period Locking: The fiscal year or periods may be locked for posting, preventing any transactions from being recorded in that fiscal year.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the financial settings of the target system that prevent the fiscal year from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP configuration (transaction code SPRO) and navigate to the financial accounting settings to ensure that the fiscal year and fiscal year variant are correctly defined.
  Ensure that the fiscal year you are trying to migrate data into exists in the target system.
  
  
  
  Verify Migration Data:
  
  Review the data being migrated to ensure that the fiscal year values are correct and correspond to the defined fiscal years in the target system.
  
  
  
  Adjust Fiscal Year Variant:
  
  Ensure that the fiscal year variant assigned to the company code in the target system matches the fiscal year being referenced in the migration data.
  
  
  
  Unlock Periods:
  
  If the fiscal year or periods are locked, you may need to unlock them temporarily to allow for the migration process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific migration process you are using, as there may be additional steps or considerations specific to your scenario.
  
  
  
  Testing:
