How To Fix CNV_20320_CHECK017 - Duplicate priority provided for target activity type &1 target CO area &2

CNV_20320_CHECK017 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_20320_CHECK - Messages for check functions (Activity Types merge)

• Message number: 017

• Message text: Duplicate priority provided for target activity type &1 target CO area &2

What causes this issue?

Multiple priority indicators specified for the target activity type &V1&
in controlling area &V2&. This can lead to inconsistencies during the
conversion.
To run the transformation solution, each target activity type must have
exactly one source activity type with the priority indicator set
(reference cost center) or exactly one source activity type from the
reference controlling area.
If no priority is provided for a target activity type the priority
indicator is taken from the controlling area mapping. This is only
possible if exactly one of the source activity types is in the reference
controlling area. If two or more of the source activity types are in the
reference controlling area multiple priority indicators are provided. If
none of the source activity types is in the reference controlling area
no priority indicator is provided.
You cannot run the transformation solution Controlling Area Merge
because certain prerequisites have not been met. Please change your
mapping accordingly.

CNV_20320_CHECK017 - Details

• The SAP error message CNV_20320_CHECK017 indicates that there is a duplicate priority assigned to a target activity type in a specific target controlling area. This error typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using SAP's Conversion Tools or during the execution of a migration project.
  
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following:
  
  There are multiple entries in the configuration or mapping that assign the same priority to the same target activity type within the specified target controlling area.
  This can happen if the mapping tables or configuration settings have been incorrectly set up, leading to conflicting priorities.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the target activity types in the specified controlling area. Look for any duplicate entries that may have been created inadvertently.
  
  
  
  Identify Duplicates:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to access the relevant tables (e.g., CNV20320* tables) and check for duplicate priority
