  The SAP error message CNV_20900104 typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or similar tools. This error indicates that a new vendor being created does not fall within the specified range of valid vendor numbers.
  Cause:
  
  Vendor Number Range: The error suggests that the vendor number you are trying to create is outside the defined number range for vendors in the system. Each company code in SAP can have a specific range of vendor numbers, and if the new vendor number does not lie within this range, the error will be triggered.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the vendor number ranges in the system settings, leading to discrepancies when trying to create new vendor records.
  Data Migration Issues: If you are migrating data from another system, the vendor numbers being imported may not align with the defined ranges in the target SAP system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Number Ranges:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBAS (or SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Payable -> Vendor Accounts -> Master Data -> Define Number Ranges for Vendors).
  Verify the defined number ranges for vendors and ensure that the new vendor number you are trying to create falls within these ranges.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Ranges:
  
  If necessary, you can adjust the number ranges to include the new vendor number. This can be done by creating a new number range or modifying an existing one.
  Ensure that the number range is not locked and is available for use.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  If you are migrating data, validate the vendor numbers in your source data to ensure they are within the acceptable range before attempting the migration again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to vendor number ranges and data migration for any additional guidance or best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test to ensure that the new vendor can be created without triggering the error.
