• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_PE247 - Sender cannot be included, transfer list already has data ?

  The SAP error message CNV_PE247 indicates that there is an issue with the transfer list during a data migration or conversion process. Specifically, it means that the sender you are trying to include in the transfer list cannot be added because the transfer list already contains data. This typically occurs in the context of using SAP's data migration tools, such as the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or other data transfer processes.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Data in Transfer List: The transfer list already has entries, and the system does not allow adding new senders to it.
  Data Integrity Rules: The system enforces rules to maintain data integrity, preventing the addition of new senders when there is already existing data.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that restrict modifications to the transfer list once it has been populated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Clear the Transfer List: If you do not need the existing data in the transfer list, you can clear it. This can usually be done through the relevant transaction or tool interface.
  
  Navigate to the transfer list management screen.
  Look for an option to delete or clear the existing entries.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Requirements: Ensure that the sender you are trying to add is necessary and that you are not duplicating data that already exists in the transfer list.
  
  
  Use a New Transfer List: If the existing data is required, consider creating a new transfer list for the new sender. This way, you can keep the existing data intact while still including the new sender.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or notes related to the specific migration or conversion process you are using. There may be specific guidelines or best practices for handling transfer lists.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you are unsure about the steps to take, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide guidance based on your specific system configuration and requirements.
