• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_PE677 - Movement type values not maintained. Default values to be used ?

  The SAP error message "CNV_PE677 Movement type values not maintained. Default values to be used" typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or similar tools. This error indicates that the system is unable to find specific movement type values that are required for the operation being performed, and as a result, it will revert to using default values.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Movement Type Configuration: The movement types that are required for the transaction or data migration process have not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Mapping: During the data migration process, the mapping of movement types may not have been set up correctly, leading to the system not being able to find the necessary values.
  Data Inconsistencies: The source data may not contain the required movement type values, or they may not be compatible with the target system's configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Movement Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and navigate to the movement type configuration (Transaction code: OMJJ).
  Ensure that the required movement types are defined and configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Migration Mapping:
  
  If you are using a migration tool, check the mapping settings to ensure that the movement types from the source system are correctly mapped to the target system's movement types.
  Make adjustments as necessary to ensure that all required movement types are accounted for.
  
  
  
  Use Default Values:
  
  If the movement types are not critical for the operation, you may choose to proceed with the default values provided by the system. However, be cautious as this may lead to unintended consequences in the data integrity or business processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to the specific migration or conversion process you are performing. There may be specific guidelines or prerequisites that need to be followed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test run of the migration process to ensure that the error does not occur again and that the data is being processed as expected.
