  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BCV/SIN070 - Conversion exit &1 does not exist ?

    The SAP error message /BCV/SIN070 Conversion exit &1 does not exist typically indicates that the system is trying to use a conversion exit (a function that converts data from one format to another) that is not defined or does not exist in the system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when dealing with data conversion, field formatting, or when using specific data types in ABAP programs.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Conversion Exit: The specified conversion exit (indicated by &1 in the error message) is not defined in the system. This could be due to a typo in the name or the exit not being implemented in the current SAP version.
    2. Incorrect Data Type: The data type being used may not support the conversion exit being called.
    3. Custom Development: If the conversion exit is part of a custom development or enhancement, it may not have been properly implemented or activated.

    Solution:

    1. Check for Typos: Verify that the name of the conversion exit is spelled correctly in the code or configuration.
    2. Define the Conversion Exit: If the conversion exit is indeed missing, you may need to define it. This can be done in transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE37 (Function Modules) if you are creating a custom conversion exit.
    3. Use Standard Conversion Exits: If possible, use standard conversion exits provided by SAP. You can find a list of standard conversion exits in the SAP documentation or by searching in the ABAP Dictionary.
    4. Review Data Types: Ensure that the data types being used are compatible with the conversion exit. If necessary, adjust the data types or the logic in your program.
    5. Check for Custom Code: If the conversion exit is part of custom code, review the implementation to ensure it is correctly defined and activated.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SE11: Data Dictionary
