• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20400_CHECK070 - No involved controlling areas use a profit center currency type ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20400_CHECK070 indicates that there is an issue related to the configuration of controlling areas and profit center currencies in your SAP system. This error typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or similar tools.
  Cause:
  The error message suggests that the controlling areas involved in the process do not have a defined profit center currency type. In SAP, profit centers can be assigned different currency types, and if none of the controlling areas involved in the transaction or migration have a profit center currency type set up, this error will occur.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Controlling Area Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP transaction code OKKP (Controlling Area: Maintain).
  Verify the settings for the controlling areas involved in your process. Ensure that the profit center currency type is defined.
  
  
  
  Define Profit Center Currency Type:
  
  If the profit center currency type is not set, you will need to define it. This can typically be done in the same configuration area where you maintain the controlling area settings.
  Ensure that the currency type is correctly assigned to the controlling area.
  
  
  
  Review Profit Center Settings:
  
  Check the profit center settings using transaction code KE52 (Change Profit Center) to ensure that the profit centers are correctly configured and linked to the appropriate controlling areas.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Settings:
  
  If you are performing a data migration, review the migration settings to ensure that they align with the controlling area and profit center configurations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific migration or conversion process you are undertaking. There may be additional steps or considerations specific to your scenario.
