  The SAP error message /PF1/FH_CONV_XSD021 No XML schema selected typically occurs when there is an issue with XML processing in SAP, particularly when the system is unable to find or select an appropriate XML schema for the conversion or processing of XML data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing XML Schema: The most common cause is that the XML schema (XSD) required for the conversion is not defined or is missing in the system.

  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing access to the required XML schema.
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping between the XML data and the schema may not be correctly defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check XML Schema Definition:
  
  Ensure that the required XML schema is defined in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE80 or SE11) and checking if the schema exists.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create or upload the appropriate XSD file.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:

  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user executing the process has the necessary authorizations to access the XML schema. You may need to consult with your security team to ensure proper roles and permissions are assigned.
  
  
  
  Mapping Verification:
  
  Review the mapping between the XML data and the schema to ensure that it is correctly defined. This may involve checking the transformation rules or mappings in the relevant transaction.
  
  
  
  Testing:
