  The SAP error message CNVA_20290_CHECK108 indicates that there is an issue related to the configuration of company codes and credit control areas in the context of a transaction or process that involves multiple company codes. This error typically arises when some of the participating company codes are assigned to different credit control areas, which can lead to inconsistencies in credit management processes.
  Cause:

  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to understand the implications of changing credit control area assignments and how it may affect other processes.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the error is resolved and that credit management processes function as expected.
