In this case, you will not be allowed to enter any names for it. This is
necessary to ensure that no names are changed or created incorrectly
(for example in a chart of accounts that does not participate in the
conversion).

How to fix this error?

Check your entries.
&ADDITIONAL_HINTS&
If account &V2& exists in the source chart of accounts and will only be
transferred implicitly into target chart of accounts &V1& (by changing
the chart of accounts ID), add the following entry in the mapping: &V2&
--> &V2&
Having included this mapping entry, you can maintain names for target
account &V1& &V2&.
