  The SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK131 indicates that there are differences in the customizing of fiscal year variants between the source and target systems during a data migration or conversion process. This error typically arises in the context of SAP S/4HANA migrations or when using the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) tool.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the fiscal year variants defined in the source system do not match those in the target system. This can happen due to:
  
  Different Fiscal Year Settings: The source and target systems may have different fiscal year variants configured, which can lead to inconsistencies in financial data.
  Missing Variants: One system may have a fiscal year variant that the other does not.
  Configuration Errors: There may be errors in the configuration of the fiscal year variants in either system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Variants:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB29 in both the source and target systems.
  Compare the fiscal year variants defined in both systems. Ensure that they are identical in terms of settings (e.g., start and end dates, number of periods).
  
  
  
  Create or Adjust Variants:
  
  If you find discrepancies, you may need to create the missing fiscal year variant in the target system or adjust the existing one to match the source system.
  Ensure that the fiscal year variant used in the source system is also created in the target system.
  
  
  
  Transport Customizing Settings:
  
  If the fiscal year variant is missing in the target system, you can transport the customizing settings from the source system to the target system using the transport management system (TMS).
