• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK002 - Participating company codes use different charts of accounts ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK002 indicates that there is a mismatch in the charts of accounts used by participating company codes during a data migration or conversion process. This error typically arises in scenarios such as SAP S/4HANA migrations or when consolidating financial data from multiple company codes that are expected to share a common chart of accounts.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  Two or more company codes involved in the process are configured to use different charts of accounts.
  The system expects all participating company codes to utilize the same chart of accounts for consistency in financial reporting and data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify Company Codes: Determine which company codes are involved in the error. You can usually find this information in the error message details or logs.
  
  
  Check Chart of Accounts: Review the chart of accounts assigned to each of the participating company codes. You can do this by navigating to the following path in SAP:
  
  Transaction Code: OB13 (for viewing the chart of accounts)
  Transaction Code: OX02 (for viewing company code settings)
  
  
  
  Align Charts of Accounts:
  
  If the company codes are supposed to use the same chart of accounts, you may need to change the configuration of one or more company codes to align them.
  If the company codes are meant to use different charts of accounts, you may need to adjust your migration or conversion strategy to accommodate this.
  
  
  
  Modify Migration Settings: If you are using a migration tool (like SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit), ensure that the settings are correctly configured to handle different charts of accounts if that is the intended design.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific migration or conversion process you are undertaking. There may be specific guidelines or best practices for handling charts of accounts.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test run of the migration or conversion process to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OB13 (Chart of Accounts), OX02 (Company Code), and others that may help in reviewing and adjusting configurations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to the error message or the migration process you are using. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common issues.
  Consult SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you are unsure about the changes to make, consider reaching out to SAP Support for assistance.
