• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DPR_SHARED802 - Not possible to convert to unit &1: Actual effort is too high ?

  The SAP error message DPR_SHARED802 indicates that there is an issue with converting the actual effort recorded in a project to a different unit of measure. This typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with project planning and resource management.
  Cause:
  The error message "Not possible to convert to unit &1: Actual effort is too high" usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Exceeding Limits: The actual effort recorded for a task or project exceeds the maximum allowable limit for conversion to the specified unit of measure. This can happen if the actual hours worked are significantly higher than what is expected or allowed.
  
  
  Unit of Measure Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of units of measure in the system. If the conversion factors between different units are not set up correctly, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry or inconsistencies in the recorded actual effort can also trigger this error. For example, if a user mistakenly enters a very high number of hours for a task.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DPR_SHARED802 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Actual Effort: Review the actual effort recorded for the project or task. Ensure that the values entered are reasonable and within expected limits. If there are discrepancies, correct them.
  
  
  Review Unit of Measure Settings: Verify the configuration of units of measure in the SAP system. Ensure that the conversion factors between different units are correctly defined. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to check these settings.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling unit conversion issues in your version of SAP.
  
  
  Error Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
