• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK147 - Business places with same settings in different Brazilian company codes ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK147 indicates that there are business places (or "estabelecimentos") with the same settings across different Brazilian company codes. This situation can arise during the data migration or conversion process, particularly when dealing with Brazilian localization settings in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Business Places: The same business place is configured in multiple company codes, which is not allowed in the Brazilian legal framework.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect or inconsistent configuration of business places across different company codes.
  Data Migration Errors: During data migration, if the same business place is inadvertently assigned to multiple company codes, this error can arise.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify Duplicate Business Places:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to check the relevant tables (e.g., T001 for company codes and T001W for business places) to identify where the duplicates exist.
  
  
  
  Review Business Place Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for business places in the SAP system (transaction code OX10 or similar) and review the settings for each company code.
  Ensure that each business place is unique to a specific company code.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you find that the same business place is configured for multiple company codes, you will need to either:
  
  Change the settings to ensure that each business place is unique to its respective company code.
  Create new business places for the company codes that are currently sharing the same business place.
  
  
  
  
  
  Data Migration Adjustments:
  
  If this error occurred during a data migration process, review the migration data to ensure that business places are correctly assigned to their respective company codes without duplication.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the business processes are functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Legal Compliance: In Brazil, each company code must have its own unique business place for tax and legal reporting purposes. This is crucial for compliance with local regulations.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to this error for any specific patches or updates that may address this issue.
