How To Fix CVI_SYNC_TAX_NUMBER030 - There is a conflict between business partner &1 and vendor &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CVI_SYNC_TAX_NUMBER - Error from synchronization of tax numbers

• Message number: 030

• Message text: There is a conflict between business partner &1 and vendor &2

What causes this issue?

There is a data conflict between the business partner and the vendor
assigned to it. The tax numbers are different for both objects.
If Master Data Synchronization is active and you process one of the
objects, the system overwrites the data for the other object.
This is illustrated in the following example:
Business partner 4711 is linked to vendor 0815.
The business partner is stored in the system without any tax numbers and
the <DS:DE.BU_NATURAL_PERSON>Natural Person</> indicator is set for tax
numbers.
The vendor is stored in the system with tax numbers but the <LS>Natural
Person</> indicator is not set.
If you process and save the business partner, for example, then the
system deletes the tax numbers for the vendor and sets the <LS>Natural
Person</> indicator.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check which object is the leading object and from which object the tax
numbers are to be transferred. To initially synchronize both objects,
execute the report CVI_SYNC_VEDN_TAX_NUMBERS (initial synchronization of
tax numbers for BP and vendor). For more detailed information, see the
corresponding report documentation.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CVI_SYNC_TAX_NUMBER030 - There is a conflict between business partner &1 and vendor &2 ?

  The SAP error message CVI_SYNC_TAX_NUMBER030 indicates a conflict between a business partner and a vendor in relation to the tax number. This typically occurs in the context of the Customer-Vendor Integration (CVI) process, where the system is trying to synchronize data between business partners and vendor master records.
  Cause:
  The error arises when there is a mismatch or conflict in the tax number information between the business partner (BP) and the vendor (which is often a specific type of business partner). This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Duplicate Tax Numbers: The same tax number is assigned to both the business partner and the vendor, leading to a conflict.
  Inconsistent Data: The tax number in the business partner record does not match the tax number in the vendor record.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, inconsistencies may have been introduced.
  Manual Entry Errors: Incorrect manual entries during the creation or maintenance of business partner or vendor records.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CVI_SYNC_TAX_NUMBER030 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Tax Numbers: 
  
  Go to the business partner and vendor records in SAP and verify the tax numbers assigned to both.
  Ensure that the tax number in the business partner record matches the one in the vendor record.
  
  
  
  Correct Inconsistencies:
  
  If you find discrepancies, update the records to ensure that they are consistent. You can do this through transaction codes like BP for business partners and XK02 for vendor master data.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicates:
  
  If the same tax number is assigned to both records, decide which record should retain the tax number and remove it from the other.
  
  
  
  Data Synchronization:
  
  After making the necessary corrections, you may need to run the synchronization process again to ensure that the changes are reflected across the system.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic:
  
  If there are any custom enhancements or logic in your SAP system that might affect the synchronization process, review those as well.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to CVI and tax number synchronization for any specific guidelines or updates.
