• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK144 - Business places used by participating company codes outside Brazil ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK144 typically occurs during the data migration process, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or during the conversion of an SAP system to S/4HANA. This specific error indicates that there are business places (a legal entity for tax purposes in Brazil) that are being used by company codes that are not located in Brazil.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  Business places are defined in the system, but they are associated with company codes that are not registered in Brazil.
  The system expects that business places should only be linked to Brazilian company codes, as they are a requirement for compliance with Brazilian tax regulations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Company Codes: Check the company codes that are associated with the business places in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP.
  
  
  Review Business Place Configuration: Ensure that the business places are only assigned to company codes that are located in Brazil. If there are business places linked to non-Brazilian company codes, you will need to either:
  
  Remove the association of those business places from the non-Brazilian company codes.
  Create new business places that are appropriate for the non-Brazilian company codes if needed.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Migration Settings: If you are using a migration tool, ensure that the mapping of business places and company codes is correctly set up to reflect the legal requirements.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific migration or conversion process you are undertaking. There may be additional guidelines or prerequisites that need to be followed.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the migration or conversion process to check if the error persists.
