How To Fix CNV_20100436 - Copy scenario: Indicator for reports (target CoA) is set

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_20100 - Messageclass for chart of account conversion

• Message number: 436

• Message text: Copy scenario: Indicator for reports (target CoA) is set

What causes this issue?

If the <ZK>Copy Rows</> indicator is set, the source chart of accounts
remains unchanged in the system, while the target chart of accounts is
created and changed as specified.
To accomplish this, all tables that have the chart of accounts as well
as sets in their keys (SETHEADER, SETHEADERT, SETLEAF, SETLINET, SETNODE
RWSHEADER, RWSLINE) must be copied (and entries for the target chart of
accounts must be changed).
These sets can be used in
Reporting (Report Painter, Report Writer)
Allocations (assessment, distribution, ...)
Due to the complexity of reports and allocations, it is not possible to
re-create them automatically using the copied sets.
The indicator for reports (target chart of accounts) was set.

System Response

Because this indicator was set, all tables in which sets are used will
be converted anyway.
&ADDITIONAL_HINTS&
Note that you can no longer use the reports that are based on the old
chart of accounts data.
