• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20000216 - Number Range Conflict ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20000216, which indicates a "Number Range Conflict," typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or similar tools. This error suggests that there is a conflict in the number ranges defined for certain objects, which can prevent the successful migration of data.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Overlap: The number range defined for the target system may overlap with the number range of the source system, leading to conflicts when trying to assign new numbers.
  Inactive Number Ranges: The number range that is supposed to be used may be inactive or not properly configured in the target system.
  Missing Number Ranges: The required number range may not exist in the target system, causing the migration process to fail.
  Custom Objects: If custom objects are involved, their number ranges may not be properly set up or may conflict with standard SAP number ranges.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Ranges: Review the number ranges in both the source and target systems. Ensure that they do not overlap and that the required ranges are active.
  
  Use transaction code SNRO to check and manage number ranges.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Ranges: If there is an overlap, you may need to adjust the number ranges in the target system to ensure they are unique and do not conflict with existing ranges.
  
  
  Activate Number Ranges: Ensure that all necessary number ranges are activated in the target system. If any number range is inactive, activate it.
  
  
  Create Missing Number Ranges: If a required number range is missing, create it in the target system using transaction code SNRO.
  
  
  Review Migration Settings: Check the settings in the migration tool to ensure that the correct number ranges are being used 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.
