How To Fix CNV_LTHCM_G_10040 - Package ID &1 already exists as CWB package &2 '&3' in execution system

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_LTHCM_G_10 - LT HCM: General Message Class

• Message number: 040

• Message text: Package ID &1 already exists as CWB package &2 '&3' in execution system

What causes this issue?

This package has an ID &1 that is identical with an already
existing CWB package ID &2 '&3' in the execution system.
However, further down in the process tree, when specifying the
conversion characteristics, the system must be able to create a CWB
package in the execution system with an ID identical to the current
package ID. As such a CWB package ID already exists in the execution
system, this will not be possible. Rather than waiting for this error to
occur further down in the process tree, an error is already issued here.

System Response

The system raises an error message. It is not possible to continue using
this package with ID &1.

How to fix this error?

The current package has to be deactivated, and a new package has to be
created.

Procedure for System Administrators

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

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_LTHCM_G_10040 - Package ID &1 already exists as CWB package &2 '&3' in execution system ?

  The SAP error message CNV_LTHCM_G_10040 indicates that there is a conflict with a package ID that already exists in the execution system. This typically occurs during the execution of a conversion or migration process, particularly in the context of the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or data migration projects.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system detects that the package ID you are trying to create or use already exists in the target system as a CWB (Change and Transport System Workbench) package. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate package IDs being generated during the migration process.
  Previous migration attempts that were not fully completed or were interrupted, leaving behind existing packages.
  Manual creation of packages with the same ID in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Packages:
  
  Use transaction code SE01 or SE09 in the SAP GUI to check for existing transport requests/packages in the target system. Look for the package ID mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Delete or Rename Existing Package:
  
  If the existing package is not needed, you can delete it. Ensure that it is not being used by any other processes.
  If the package is needed, consider renaming the new package ID you are trying to create to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  
  Adjust Migration Settings:
  
  Review the migration settings or configuration to ensure that the package IDs being generated are unique. This may involve adjusting parameters in the migration tool or process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation related to the specific migration or conversion process you are executing. There may be specific guidelines or best practices for handling package IDs.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
