CNVA_20290_CHECK010 - Details

• The SAP error message CNVA_20290_CHECK010 indicates that there are different controlling areas assigned in a transaction where the system expects them to be the same. This typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and financial accounting (FI) modules when trying to perform a transaction that involves multiple controlling areas, which is not allowed.
  
  Cause:
  
  Different Controlling Areas: The error arises when you attempt to post or transfer data between different controlling areas. Each controlling area is a separate entity in SAP, and transactions must be consistent within the same controlling area.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue where the controlling areas are not set up correctly in the system.
  Master Data Issues: The master data (like cost centers, internal orders, etc.) may be assigned to different controlling areas, leading to this error when trying to process transactions involving them.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Controlling Area Assignment:
  
  Verify the controlling area assignments for the relevant master data
