• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK258 - Valuation is on level "several plants" ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK258 with the description "Valuation is on level 'several plants'" typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or similar tools. This error indicates that there is an inconsistency in the valuation level settings for materials in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Valuation Level Settings: The error arises when the valuation level for materials is set to "Plant" in some instances and "Company Code" in others. This inconsistency can occur if the materials are defined with different valuation levels across different plants or if the migration data does not align with the expected valuation level.
  Data Migration Issues: During data migration, if the source system has materials with different valuation levels and the target system expects a uniform valuation level, this error can be triggered.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Valuation Level Settings:
  
  Go to the material master data in the SAP system and check the valuation level settings for the materials in question. Ensure that all materials have a consistent valuation level (either all at "Plant" or all at "Company Code").
  You can check this in the material master record (transaction code MM03) under the Accounting view.
  
  
  
  Adjust Migration Data:
  
  If you are migrating data, ensure that the data being imported aligns with the valuation level settings of the target system. You may need to adjust the data in your migration files to ensure consistency.
  If necessary, modify the migration template to reflect the correct valuation level.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to material valuation and data migration to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like MM02 to change the valuation level for materials if needed, but be cautious as this can have implications on inventory valuation and financial reporting.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test migration to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Valuation Levels: In SAP, valuation can be set at different levels, such as "Company Code" or "Plant." The choice of valuation level affects how inventory and costs are managed.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling valuation levels during migration.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
