• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20410_CHECK035 - Participating operating concerns have different 2nd period types ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20410_CHECK035 indicates that there is a mismatch in the second period types of participating operating concerns during a conversion or migration process, typically related to SAP Controlling (CO) or Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) modules. This error often arises when trying to consolidate or integrate data from different operating concerns that have been configured with different settings for their second period types.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the participating operating concerns have been set up with different configurations for the second period types. In SAP, the second period type can refer to how periods are defined for reporting or data processing purposes, and if these settings do not match across the operating concerns, it can lead to inconsistencies and errors during data processing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the operating concerns involved. You can do this in the SAP GUI by navigating to the relevant configuration transaction (e.g., OKKP for controlling area settings).
  Compare the second period type settings for each operating concern. Ensure that they are consistent across all participating operating concerns.
  
  
  
  Adjust Settings:
  
  If you find discrepancies, you will need to adjust the settings of one or more operating concerns to ensure they match. This may involve changing the second period type in the configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that any historical data or existing records are consistent with the new settings. You may need to perform data cleansing or adjustments if there are existing inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the data processing works as expected.
