  The SAP error message /BSNAGT/MESSAGE314 indicates that there is an issue with the conversion of code pages, specifically when trying to convert data from one character encoding (code page) to another. This can occur in various scenarios, such as data import/export, file processing, or when dealing with different systems that use different character encodings.
  Cause
  The error typically arises due to one or more of the following reasons:

  Invalid Characters: The data being processed contains characters that are not valid in the target code page, leading to conversion failures.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The system may not be properly configured to handle the specified code pages, or the necessary code page settings may not be correctly defined in the SAP system.
