How To Fix CNV_40301003 - New acct. det. &2 exists already; implicit merge by acct. det. rename

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_40301 - Message class for package 40301 (KTOGR)

• Message number: 003

• Message text: New acct. det. &2 exists already; implicit merge by acct. det. rename

What causes this issue?

When the asset account determinations that you plan to merge were
checked, it was found that the new asset account determination &V2&
(mapping &V1& -> &V2&) already exists in the database.
However the new asset account determination &V2& is not used as an old
asset account determination ( &V2& -> XXXX) for another mapping
relation.
This means that asset account determination &V1& is in fact merged with
the existing asset account determination &V2&.
This has the following consequences. You need:
to find out if the implicit merge is correct from a logical point of
view
to explicitely include the entry &V2& -> &V2& to the mapping to consider
the priority indicator. If the priority indicator is not set, it is not
clear which settings will take priority when asset account determination
&V1& and &V2& are merged into &V2&.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

<ZH>Regarding item 2:</>
Explicitely include the mapping &V2& -> &V2& into the mapping table so
that at least the following entries exist in the mapping table:
&V1& -> &V2&
&V2& -> &V2&
If applicable, any other mapping with new asset account determination
&V2&.
<ZH>Regarding item 3:</>
Set the priority indicator for one of the entries for which &V2& is the
new asset account determination.
&NOTE&
It is possible to do the conversion without setting the priority
indicator. However then it is undefined which old asset account
determinatiion settings the new asset account determination &V2& will
get.
In this case you should check the asset account determination settings
(transaction XXXX) for the relevant asset account determination class
&V2&
after the conversion.
&ADDITIONAL_HINTS&
The priority indicator must not be set more than <ZH>once</> for all
merges to a given asset account determination.
