  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data being sent to the AIF and ensure that it matches the expected data types defined in the interface configuration. Make sure that numeric fields do not contain any non-numeric characters.
  Review Mapping: Check the mapping configuration in the AIF to ensure that all fields are correctly mapped and that the data types align.

  Debugging: Use the AIF monitoring tools to trace the message and identify where the conversion error is occurring. This can provide insights into which specific field is causing the issue.
