• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CHK_CLASH_OBJECTS018 - Domain has different conversion exits: local &1, remote &2 ?

  The SAP error message CHK_CLASH_OBJECTS018 indicates that there is a mismatch in the conversion exits between local and remote domains. This typically occurs when you are trying to transfer data between two systems or environments (for example, during a data migration or when using remote function calls) and the data types or formats do not align due to different conversion exits being defined for the same field in the two systems.
  Cause:
  
  Different Conversion Exits: The local system has a different conversion exit defined for a field compared to the remote system. This can happen if the field is defined differently in the data dictionary (DDIC) or if custom conversion exits are used in one system but not in the other.
  Inconsistent Data Types: The data types of the fields being compared or transferred may not match, leading to conversion issues.
  Custom Development: If there are custom programs or enhancements that use specific conversion exits, and these are not consistent across systems, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Dictionary Definitions: Verify the data dictionary definitions for the fields in both the local and remote systems. Ensure that the conversion exits are the same.
  
  Use transaction SE11 to check the data element and its associated conversion exit.
  
  
  
  Align Conversion Exits: If you find discrepancies, you may need to align the conversion exits. This could involve:
  
  Modifying the conversion exit in one of the systems to match the other.
  Creating a new conversion exit that is consistent across both systems.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code: If there is custom code involved, review it to ensure that it is using the correct conversion exits and that they are consistent across both systems.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, perform thorough testing to ensure that the data transfer works as expected without any further errors.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the conversion exits or how to modify them, consult SAP documentation or reach out to SAP support for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check field definitions and conversion exits.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Data Migration Tools: If you are using tools like SAP Data Services or LSMW, ensure that the mappings and transformations are correctly set up to handle conversion exits.
  
  By addressing the discrepancies in conversion exits and ensuring consistency between the local and remote systems, you should be able to resolve the CHK_CLASH_OBJECTS018 error.
