How To Fix CNV_20100543 - Merge to chart of accounts &1 with different group charts of accounts

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 543

• Message text: Merge to chart of accounts &1 with different group charts of accounts

What causes this issue?

According to the mapping table, you want to merge two or more old charts
of accounts into the new chart of accounts &V1&. At least two of the old
charts of accounts have different group chart of accounts (&V2& and &V3&
) assigned.

System Response

When G/L accounts are merged, the entry for which the priority indicator
has been set is transferred to the target chart of accounts. Depending
on the scenario, this may mean that an existing value for the group
account number (SKA1-BILKT) gets overwritten (based on G/L account
priority).
As a result - after the conversion - one G/L account of the new chart of
accounts &V1& may has a group account number of group chart of accounts
&V2& assigned, while another G/L account can have a group account number
of group chart of accounts &V3& assigned.
After the conversion, the Customizing of the group chart of accounts for
chart of accounts &V1& is &V2& or &V3&. (Super priority determines this
group chart of accounts.)
This can lead to inconsistencies, as the group chart of accounts in
Customizing may be different from the group account number of the merged
G/L accounts.

How to fix this error?

For the charts of accounts to be merged into &V1&, you must harmonize
the associated group chart of accounts.
Alternatively, adapt the relationship between the group accounts and the
G/L accounts manually in the new chart of accounts &V1& after the
conversion.
For the chart of accounts to be merged into , you must harmonize the
