  The SAP error message CNV_20100263 indicates an issue related to the implicit merging of secondary cost elements with a General Ledger (G/L) account due to a change in the Chart of Accounts (CoA). This typically occurs during data migration or when there are changes in the configuration of the financial accounting structure.
  Cause:
  
  Chart of Accounts Change: The error arises when there is a change in the Chart of Accounts that affects how cost elements are mapped to G/L accounts. This can happen during a system upgrade, migration, or when the CoA is modified.
  Cost Element Configuration: The secondary cost elements may not be properly aligned with the new G/L accounts after the CoA change, leading to an implicit merge.
  Data Migration Issues: If you are migrating data from one system to another, inconsistencies in the mapping of cost elements to G/L accounts can trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review CoA Changes: Check the changes made to the Chart of Accounts. Ensure that the mappings of cost elements to G/L accounts are correctly defined.
  Adjust Cost Element Configuration: Verify the configuration of secondary cost elements in the system. Make sure they are correctly assigned to the appropriate G/L accounts in the new CoA.
  Data Migration Mapping: If this error occurs during data migration, review the mapping tables used for the migration. Ensure that all cost elements are correctly mapped to the corresponding G/L accounts.
