• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK145 - Different business places used by participating company codes in Brazil ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK145 indicates that there is a mismatch in the business places used by participating company codes in Brazil during a data migration or conversion process. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's data migration tools, particularly when dealing with Brazilian localization requirements.
  Cause:
  
  Business Place Configuration: In Brazil, each company code must be associated with a specific business place (local tax jurisdiction). If the participating company codes in a migration scenario are configured with different business places, this error will occur.
  Inconsistent Data: The data being migrated may have inconsistencies where different company codes are linked to different business places, which is not allowed in the Brazilian legal framework.
  Incorrect Mapping: During the data migration process, the mapping of company codes to business places may not have been set up correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Business Place Configuration: Check the configuration of business places in the SAP system for each participating company code. Ensure that they are correctly assigned and consistent across the company codes involved in the migration.
  Align Business Places: If the company codes are supposed to share the same business place, update the configuration to ensure they are aligned. If they should have different business places, ensure that the migration process is set up to handle this correctly.
  Data Validation: Before running the migration, validate the data to ensure that all company codes have the correct business place assigned. This can often be done through reports or queries in the SAP system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific migration tool you are using, as there may be additional guidelines or requirements for Brazilian localization.
  Engage with SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if you suspect there may be a bug or a more complex configuration issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Brazilian Localization: Brazil has specific legal requirements regarding tax reporting and business places, which must be adhered to in SAP systems.
  Data Migration Tools: Familiarize yourself with the specific SAP data migration tools being used (e.g., SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, LTMC) and their requirements for Brazilian company codes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context on handling business places in Brazil.
  
  By addressing the configuration and ensuring consistency across the participating company codes, you should be able to resolve the CNV_20200_CHECK145 error.
