How To Fix MS011 - & of & transaction variants were not converted

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MS - SAP customer enhancement project messages

• Message number: 011

• Message text: & of & transaction variants were not converted

What causes this issue?

The transaction variant concept and transaction variant functionality
have been reworked for Release 4.6A.
The new functions available made a technical change necessary in how
data is stored. Report RSHD_TV_SCRV_XPRA automatically converts all
transaction variants found in the system to the new technical structure
when upgrading from Release 3.0x, 3.1x, 4.0x, or 4.5x to Release 4.6x.
Not all transaction variants found in your system could be converted.
You can continue to work in your system, even if not all of your
transaction variants have been converted. Exception: If the transaction
variants are unknown in the system.
Transaction variants are usually not converted for one of two reasons:
A transaction variant with the same name already exists in the system
either because the transaction variant has already been converted, or
because a transaction variant with the new name already exists in the
system (for example, one delivered by SAP that has already been
converted).
The system was unable to choose a name, since its suggestion would have
contained more than 30 characters (this can only happen with
transactions whose names contain more than 15 characters).

How to fix this error?

Start report RSHD_TV_SCRV_DISPL with the following options:
Variants from all clients (selected)
Cross-client variants (selected)
Variant transactions too (deselected)
(all other parameters should be left initial)
A list is displayed of all transaction variants in all clients that
could not be converted, as well as the reason why they could not
converted.
Convert any of the transaction variants you may need manually using
Report RSHD_TV_SCRV_SG. In this report, transaction variant names can
be chosen at will.
Old (that is, not converted) and new (converted) transaction variants
can be compared using Report RS_HD_SCRV_COMP.
