• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK083 - Participating company codes have different currency settings ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK083 indicates that there is a mismatch in currency settings between participating company codes during a data migration or conversion process. This error typically arises in scenarios where multiple company codes are involved, and they have been configured with different currencies, which can lead to inconsistencies in financial reporting and data integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Different Currency Settings: The participating company codes have been set up with different local currencies or controlling currencies. For example, one company code may be using USD while another is using EUR.
  Configuration Issues: The company codes may not have been properly configured to align with the currency settings required for the migration or conversion process.
  Data Migration Process: During data migration, if the system attempts to consolidate or process data from these company codes without addressing the currency differences, it will trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Company Code Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or use the appropriate path in your SAP system) to check the currency settings for each company code involved.
  Ensure that the local currency and any other relevant currency settings are consistent across the participating company codes.
  
  
  
  Align Currency Settings:
  
  If possible, align the currency settings of the company codes. This may involve changing the currency settings of one or more company codes to match the others.
  If the company codes must remain in different currencies, consider how the data will be processed and whether additional conversion logic is needed.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Strategy:
  
  If the migration process requires handling multiple currencies, ensure that the data migration strategy includes appropriate currency conversion logic.
  Use tools or functions within SAP that can handle multi-currency scenarios, such as currency translation or conversion functions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation related to the specific migration or conversion process you are undertaking. There may be specific guidelines or best practices for handling currency differences.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the error is resolved and that data integrity is maintained across the company codes.
