• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_FH_E010 - Conversion context has not been set before ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_FH_E010 Conversion context has not been set before typically indicates that there is an issue with the conversion context in a program or function module that is trying to perform a conversion operation without having the necessary context initialized.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Initialization: The conversion context required for the operation has not been initialized before the conversion function is called.
  Incorrect Sequence of Operations: The program may be trying to perform a conversion before setting up the necessary context.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the conversion routines or the data being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Initialize the Conversion Context: Ensure that the conversion context is properly initialized before calling any conversion functions. This can typically be done using a function module like CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY or similar, depending on the specific conversion you are trying to perform.
  Example:
  DATA: lv_context TYPE your_context_type.
  CALL FUNCTION 'YOUR_FUNCTION_MODULE'
    EXPORTING
      context = lv_context
    IMPORTING
      ...
  
  
  Check the Sequence of Calls: Review the code to ensure that the conversion context is set up in the correct order. Make sure that any necessary setup functions are called before the conversion function.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to the conversion routines. Ensure that all necessary settings are in place and that the data being processed is valid.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the context is not being set. Look for any conditional logic that might be preventing the context from being initialized.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific function module or conversion routine you are using. There may be specific requirements or known issues documented.
