• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_CONV_XML383 - Either'Code'or'Proptry',but not both,must be present if ReturnReason used ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_CONV_XML383 indicates that there is an issue with the XML data being processed, specifically related to the use of the ReturnReason element. The error states that either the Code or Property must be present, but not both, when the ReturnReason is used.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in scenarios where XML data is being converted or processed, such as during an interface or data import/export operation. The ReturnReason element is expected to have either a Code or a Property attribute, but the presence of both attributes violates the expected structure of the XML schema.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the XML Structure: Review the XML data being sent or received. Ensure that for each ReturnReason element, you have either the Code or the Property attribute defined, but not both.
  Example of correct usage:
  <ReturnReason>
      <Code>123</Code> <!-- Correct: Only Code is present -->
  </ReturnReason>
  Example of incorrect usage:
  <ReturnReason>
      <Code>123</Code>
      <Property>SomeProperty</Property> <!-- Incorrect: Both Code and Property are present -->
  </ReturnReason>
  
  
  Modify the Data Source: If the XML is generated from a data source (like a database or an application), ensure that the logic generating the XML adheres to the requirement of having either Code or Property.
  
  
  Validate XML Against Schema: If you have an XML schema (XSD) for validation, use it to check the XML structure before processing. This can help catch such errors early.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are using a specific SAP module or interface, refer to the relevant documentation for details on the expected XML structure and attributes.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the XML processing again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. Sometimes, SAP provides patches or additional guidance for specific error messages.
