What causes this issue?

During conversion of the matchcode ID, an error occurred during
activation.

System Response

If there is more than one matchcode ID to be converted, you will
continue with the next ID. If only one ID is to be converted,
conversion is terminated with an error message.

How to fix this error?

The conversion log might contain information about why activation was
terminated. If this is not the case, activate the matchcode ID
interactively with transaction SE11 and analyze the log if an error
occurs again.
Activate again after correcting the error and build up the matchcode
records using the program SAPMACO if the update type of the matchcode
ID is A, S or P. You do not have to do anything further if it is a
transparent matchcode ID (update type I).
