How To Fix MS013 - & of & variant transactions were not converted

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MS - SAP customer enhancement project messages

• Message number: 013

• Message text: & of & variant transactions 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.
Since the names of the transaction variants are changed during
conversion, variant transactions must be converted as well.
Not all variant transactions were converted in your system.
You can continue to work in your system even if not all of your variant
transactions have been converted. Exception: If the variant
transactions that were not converted coincide with the calling
transaction.
Variant transactions may not be able to be converted for one of the
following reasons:
The (old) variant transaction is invalid,
because the transaction called does not exist, or
because the (old) variant transaction does not exist
The new variant transaction already exists,
because it has already been converted, or
because the corresponding (new) variant already exists
The new variant transaction does not exist,
because the (old) variant transaction could not be converted

How to fix this error?

Start report RSHD_TV_SCRV_DISPL with the following options:
Transaction (enter name)
Transaction variant (enter name)
Variant transactions too (selected)
(all other parameters should be left initial)
A list is displayed of all variant transactions (and transaction
variants) that could not be converted, as well as the reason why they
could not converted.
Convert any of the variant transactions you need manually (transaction
code maintenance):
Replace the old transaction variant with a new one, but do not change
any of the other settings.
Old (that is, not converted) and new (converted) transaction variants
can be compared using Report RS_HD_SCRV_COMP.
