• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK019 - FIFO valuation is active and valuation level is company code ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK019 indicates that there is an issue related to the FIFO (First In, First Out) valuation method in the context of the valuation level being set to the company code. This error typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or similar tools.
  Cause:
  
  FIFO Valuation Active: The error suggests that FIFO valuation is active in the system. This means that the system is configured to use FIFO for inventory valuation.
  Valuation Level: The valuation level is set to the company code, which means that inventory valuation is done at the company code level rather than at the plant level. This can lead to inconsistencies if the data being migrated does not align with this configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP and verify the valuation method for the relevant materials. Ensure that FIFO valuation is indeed required and correctly configured.
  Check the valuation level settings in the material master records. You can do this by navigating to the material master (transaction code MM03) and reviewing the accounting view.
  
  
  
  Adjust Valuation Level:
  
  If FIFO valuation is not necessary, consider changing the valuation method to a different one (e.g., moving average) or adjusting the valuation level to plant level if that aligns better with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the data being migrated is consistent with the FIFO valuation method and the company code valuation level. This may involve cleaning up or adjusting the data before migration.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to this error message for any specific recommendations or patches that may address the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test migration to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
