  The SAP error message CNV_20212_CHECK287 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 issue with the mapping of credit control areas in the data being processed.
  Cause:
  The error message suggests that there is a conflict or inconsistency in the mapping of credit control areas. Specifically, it indicates that there is a rename mapping with a priority flag that is not being handled correctly. This can happen due to:

  Correct Mapping Entries:
  
  If you find any incorrect or conflicting mappings, correct them. This may involve renaming or reassigning credit control areas to ensure that each area is uniquely mapped.
  
  
  
  Test the Migration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, run a test migration to see if the error persists. Monitor the logs for any additional errors or warnings.
