SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_20310_CHECK -

• Message number: 001

• Message text: Issues with profit centers; see long text

What causes this issue?

If cost centers are to be merged, but they have different profit
centers, then the merge is not allowed. However, if mapping values state
that the profit centers will be merged, then the cost centers can be
merged.
If there are postings to the cost centers, then a merge of the profit
centers is required.
If there are no postings to the cost centers, then the cost centers can
be merged; the profit centers do not need to be merged. We recommend
that you engage the services of an SAP consultant to confirm that there
are no postings to the cost centers.
If you require support, contact SAP by creating a ticket using component
CA-LT-CNV.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
