• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK175 - 'Do not post to profit center' of CC &1 is not aligned to reference CoCds ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK175 'Do not post to profit center' indicates that there is a misalignment between the profit center configuration in the controlling area (CoCd) and the profit center assignment in the cost center (CC). This error typically arises during data migration or when trying to post transactions that involve cost centers and profit centers.
  Cause:
  
  Profit Center Assignment: The cost center (CC) is assigned to a profit center that is not valid for the reference company code (CoCd). This can happen if the profit center is not defined in the controlling area associated with the company code.
  Configuration Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the configuration of profit centers and cost centers across different company codes.
  Data Migration Issues: If you are migrating data from one system to another, the profit center assignments may not have been correctly mapped or transferred.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Profit Center Assignment:
  
  Go to the transaction code KS03 (Display Cost Center) and check the profit center assigned to the cost center in question.
  Ensure that the profit center is valid for the controlling area associated with the company code.
  
  
  
  Verify Profit Center Configuration:
  
  Use transaction code KE52 (Change Profit Center) to check if the profit center is correctly configured and assigned to the appropriate controlling area.
  Ensure that the profit center is active and not marked for deletion.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the profit center is not valid for the controlling area, you may need to either change the profit center assignment for the cost center or create a new profit center that is valid for the controlling area.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Review:
  
  If this error occurs during data migration, review the mapping of cost centers and profit centers to ensure that they align correctly with the target system's configuration.
