  The SAP error message CPE231, which states "Conversion Routine &1 does not exist," typically occurs when the system is unable to find a specified conversion routine for a particular data type or field. This can happen in various contexts, such as during data conversion, data transfer, or when processing certain transactions.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Conversion Routine: The specified conversion routine (indicated by &1) is not defined in the system. This could be due to a missing or incorrectly configured routine.
  Incorrect Field Mapping: The field that is being processed may not have a corresponding conversion routine defined in the system.

  Check for Existence: Verify if the conversion routine exists in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction codes (e.g., SE37 for function modules) to see if the routine is defined.
  Create or Restore the Routine: If the routine does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it from a transport request if it was deleted.
  Review Field Mapping: Ensure that the field mappings in your data transfer or conversion process are correct and that they reference valid conversion routines.
