  The SAP error message CNV_20000244 indicates that there are documents that need to be renumbered using external number ranges during a data migration or conversion process. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's data migration tools, such as the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or other data conversion projects.
  Cause:
  
  External Number Ranges: The system is configured to use external number ranges for certain document types, but the documents currently in the system do not conform to this requirement.
  Data Migration: During a data migration process, the system may encounter documents that were created with internal number ranges, and the migration process requires them to be renumbered to fit the external number range format.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the number range settings for the document types involved.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the configuration for the relevant number range object.
  Ensure that the number range is set to external for the document types that are causing the error.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Numbering:
  
  If the documents need to be renumbered, you may need to create a new number range or adjust the existing one to accommodate the documents.
  Use transaction OBA7 to maintain number ranges for the relevant document types.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Tool Settings:
  
  Review the settings in the data migration tool you are using. Ensure that it is configured to handle external number ranges correctly.
  If necessary, adjust the mapping or transformation rules to ensure that documents are assigned the correct external numbers.
  
  
  
  Execute Renumbering:
  
  If the documents are already in the system and need to be renumbered, you may need to run a specific program or transaction that allows for renumbering of documents according to the external number range.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test migration or run the relevant processes to ensure that the error is resolved and that documents are being renumbered correctly.
