• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNVA_20290_CHECK155 - The participating company codes have different chart of accounts ?

  The SAP error message CNVA_20290_CHECK155 indicates that there is a mismatch in the chart of accounts between participating company codes during a transaction or process that involves multiple company codes. This typically occurs in scenarios such as intercompany transactions, consolidations, or when trying to execute a financial operation that spans multiple entities.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  Two or more company codes involved in a transaction are configured to use different charts of accounts.
  The system requires that all participating company codes share the same chart of accounts to ensure consistency in financial reporting and data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Company Code Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or use the menu path: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > G/L Accounts > Prepare for Migration > Define Chart of Accounts).
  Verify the chart of accounts assigned to each company code involved in the transaction.
  
  
  
  Align Charts of Accounts:
  
  If the company codes are supposed to use the same chart of accounts, you may need to change the configuration of one or more company codes to ensure they are aligned.
  If necessary, you can create a new chart of accounts and assign it to the company codes that need to be aligned.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Settings:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are trying to execute is appropriate for the company codes involved. If they are meant to operate independently, consider whether the transaction should be processed differently.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on handling charts of accounts and intercompany transactions.
