• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK311 - Participating companies have different local currencies ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20200_CHECK311 indicates that there is a mismatch in the local currencies of participating companies during a data migration or conversion process. This error typically arises in scenarios where multiple company codes are involved, and each company code has a different local currency set in the system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the participating companies (or company codes) in the transaction or process have different local currencies defined in their respective configurations. For example, if Company Code A is set to use USD as its local currency and Company Code B is set to use EUR, this discrepancy will trigger the error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Company Code Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB22 (or use the appropriate navigation path) to check the local currency settings for each company code involved.
  Ensure that the local currencies are consistent across the participating companies if they are meant to be part of the same transaction or process.
  
  
  
  Adjust Local Currency:
  
  If the business process allows, consider changing the local currency of one of the company codes to match the other. This may involve significant changes, so it should be done with caution and proper planning.
  
  
  
  Use a Common Currency:
  
  If the company codes must maintain different local currencies, consider using a common currency for reporting or transactions. This can be done by using the group currency or a controlling area currency if applicable.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to the specific migration or conversion process you are executing. There may be specific guidelines or prerequisites that need to be followed.
  
  
  
  Engage with SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists or if you are unsure about making changes, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide guidance based on your specific system configuration and business requirements.
