Message text: Unable to switch on the ALPHA conversion
The <DS:DE.FC_ALPHB>ALPHA conversion of FS items</> cannot be turned on
when a deactivated ALPHA conversion generated solely numerical keys for
the FS items that are invalid when the ALPHA conversion is activated.
An example for this are items 1 or 001 because these lengths do not
coincide with the internal length of &V3&. The system would not be able
to address these items.
In this case, item &V2& of chart &V1& is involved.
Error
In most cases, the ALPHA conversion cannot be turned on again.

- Unable to switch on the ALPHA conversion ?The SAP error message G00019, "Unable to switch on the ALPHA conversion," typically occurs when there is an issue with the ALPHA conversion settings for a field in the SAP system.

For example, if the field is defined as a numeric type but is being treated as a character type, this error can occur. Incorrect Configuration: The ALPHA conversion settings may not be properly configured in the system, leading to this error when trying to switch it on. Missing
