• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK156 - FI-SL ledger &1 does not occur in all participating company codes ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK156 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the configuration of the Financial Accounting (FI) Subledger (FI-SL) ledgers across different company codes. Specifically, it means that the specified ledger (denoted as &1 in the error message) is not consistently defined across all the company codes that are participating in the conversion or migration process.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Ledger Configuration: The specified FI-SL ledger is not activated or configured for all the company codes involved in the process. This can happen if some company codes have the ledger defined while others do not.
  Data Migration Issues: During data migration or conversion processes, if the ledgers are not uniformly set up across all company codes, this error can occur.
  Customizations: Custom configurations or changes in the system that affect the ledger settings may lead to this inconsistency.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Ledger Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP and verify the ledger settings for each company code.
  Ensure that the specified FI-SL ledger is activated for all participating company codes.
  
  
  
  Activate Ledger for Missing Company Codes:
  
  If the ledger is not activated for certain company codes, you will need to activate it. This can typically be done in the SAP configuration under Financial Accounting (FI) > General Ledger Accounting > Ledgers > Define Ledgers.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a consistency check to ensure that all company codes have the same ledger configuration. This can often be done using transaction codes like OB22 (for ledger settings) or through specific reports that check for inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Review Migration Settings:
  
  If this error occurs during a migration process, review the migration settings and ensure that all necessary ledgers are included for each company code.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP you are using, as there may be additional steps or considerations based on your system's configuration.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OB22 (for ledger configuration) and SCPR20 (for migration checks).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuring FI-SL ledgers.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking configurations, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP FI consultant for further assistance.
  
  By ensuring that the FI-SL ledger is consistently defined across all participating company codes, you should be able to resolve the CNV_20200_CHECK156 error.
