What causes this issue?

During the execution of activity <ZK>Find Critical Item Category Changes
</> in phase <ZK>Mapping Tables</>, the system did not find any postings
for chart of accounts &v1&, account &v2&, company code &v3&.
However postings exist for this account.

System Response

The system has found critical item category changes in phase <ZK>Mapping
Tables.</> These are merges of two or more accounts into one account
involving old accounts with different item categories.
For each critical merge, you then had to mark the item category you want
apply to the target account of the merge. This was done in activity
<ZK>Specify Item Categories</> in phase <ZK>Mapping Tables</>.
Thereafter the consistency of all item category assignments was checked
in activity <ZK>Check Item Category Customizing</>. If the system
detected any issues, the corresponding messages got stored in the log
for this activity.
Any change to the posting status of an account after this point in time
is critical for the following reasons:
It might invalidate your item category mapping.
The messages displayed in the item category customizing check may not be
valid anymore.
The item category customizing is built up incorrectly, which can have
severe consequences.

How to fix this error?

Consider the messages further down in this log.
Check if the specified priority of the corresponding critical merge
group still fits.
Make sure that the item category mapping is not affected and that all
other potential error messages of this activity do not lead to problems
either. You can then change the status for this activity manually (even
if error messages exist).
Note that you are fully responsible for any inconsistency that may
result from this manual status change.
Alternatively, you have to deactivate this package and start from
scratch by loading a new conversion package.
