SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_20335_CHECK - Message Class for 20335 Checks

• Message number: 018

• Message text: Duplicate priority provided for target business pr. &1 target CO area &2

What causes this issue?

Multiple priority indicators are specified for the target business
process &V1& in controlling area &V2&. This can lead to inconsistencies
during the conversion.
To run the transformation solution each target business process must
have exactly one source business process with the priority indicator set
(reference business process) or exactly one source business process from
the reference controlling area.
If no priority is provided for a target business process, the priority
indicator is taken from the controlling area mapping. This is only
possible if exactly one of the source business processes is in the
reference controlling area. If two or more of the source business
processes are in the reference controlling area multiple priority
indicators are provided. If none of the source business processes 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.
