• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_MBT_PCL050 - Process view is less restrictive than defined on parent step ?

  The SAP error message CNV_MBT_PCL050 indicates that there is a mismatch in the restrictions defined for a process view in a data migration or conversion scenario. Specifically, it means that the process view you are trying to use is less restrictive than what has been defined in the parent step of the migration process. This can lead to inconsistencies or issues during the data migration.
  Cause:
  
  Process View Configuration: The process view you are using may have been configured with less stringent criteria (e.g., filters, conditions) compared to the parent step. This can happen if the settings were not aligned properly during the configuration of the migration project.
  Hierarchy Mismatch: The error can also arise from a hierarchical mismatch where the child step (process view) is expected to be more restrictive than the parent step, but it is not.
  Data Integrity Concerns: The system is designed to ensure data integrity during migration, and having a less restrictive view could lead to potential data issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Process View Settings: Check the configuration of the process view in question. Ensure that it aligns with the restrictions set in the parent step. You may need to adjust the filters or conditions to make them more restrictive.
  Adjust Parent Step: If the parent step is too restrictive and does not need to be, consider modifying its settings to allow for the less restrictive process view.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or migration guides related to the specific migration project you are working on. This can provide insights into the expected configurations.
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the migration process again to ensure that the error is resolved and that data integrity is maintained.
  Seek Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a colleague who has experience with the specific migration project.

  By addressing the configuration mismatch between the process view and the parent step, you should be able to resolve the CNV_MBT_PCL050 error and proceed with your data migration successfully.
