• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20900193 - Participating vendors have different Dunning block (LFB5-MANSP) ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20900193 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the Dunning block settings for participating vendors in a conversion or migration process. Specifically, the error arises when the Dunning block (field LFB5-MANSP) for different vendors involved in a transaction or process does not match, which can lead to inconsistencies in financial reporting or processing.
  Cause:
  
  Different Dunning Block Settings: The participating vendors have different values set for the Dunning block field. This can occur if the vendors are configured differently in the system, leading to issues during data migration or conversion.

  Review Vendor Master Data: Check the vendor master records for the participating vendors. Ensure that the Dunning block settings are consistent across all vendors involved in the transaction.
  
  You can do this by navigating to the vendor master data in SAP (transaction code XK03 or MK03) and reviewing the Dunning information.
  
  
  
  Update Dunning Block Settings: If discrepancies are found, update the Dunning block settings to ensure they are uniform across all participating vendors. This may involve changing the Dunning block for some vendors to match others.
  
  
  Data Cleansing: If the error arises during a data migration process, consider performing data cleansing to ensure that all vendor records are consistent before migration.
