How To Fix CNV_20375_CHECK006 - Implicit primary cost element merge found

CNV_20375_CHECK006 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_20375_CHECK - Message Class for 20375 Checks

• Message number: 006

• Message text: Implicit primary cost element merge found

What causes this issue?

An <DS:TX.CNV_MBT_IMPLICIT_MERGE>implicit merge</> into a primary cost
element was detected. This happens when cost elements will be merged,
but the mapping only contains a part of the source cost elements.
The solution Controlling Area Merge does not support primary cost
elements. To change primary cost elements a chart of accounts conversion
is required.
You cannot run the transformation solution Controlling Area Merge
because certain prerequisites have not been met. Please change your
mapping accordingly or contact SAP for support by creating a ticket
using component CA-LT-CNV.
