• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20400_CHECK058 - Some source controlling areas have no active profit center accounting ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20400_CHECK058 indicates that some source controlling areas do not have active Profit Center Accounting (PCA) enabled. This error typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using SAP's Migration Cockpit or during the implementation of new functionalities that require PCA.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Profit Center Accounting: The controlling area in question does not have Profit Center Accounting activated. This can happen if the controlling area was set up without PCA or if PCA was deactivated after the controlling area was created.
  Data Migration Issues: During data migration, the system checks for the consistency of the data being migrated. If the source controlling area lacks PCA, the migration process will flag this as an error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the controlling area settings that prevent PCA from being activated.
  
  Solution:
