• Message text: Error in an arithmetic operation or a data conversion

What causes this issue?

The user-defined conversion routine for field &V1& attempted to execute
an invalid arithmetical operation or to use an invalid method to
convert some data types.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

The processing has been terminated and marked as incorrect. You can
restart the processing at any time.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAU117 - Error in an arithmetic operation or a data conversion ?

  The SAP error message RSAU117, which states "Error in an arithmetic operation or a data conversion," typically occurs during data processing in SAP systems, particularly in the context of data extraction or transformation processes. This error can arise from various issues, including data type mismatches, invalid data formats, or arithmetic operations that cannot be performed due to incompatible data types.
  Causes of RSAU117 Error
  
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The error may occur if there is an attempt to perform arithmetic operations on incompatible data types (e.g., trying to add a string to a number).
  
  
  Invalid Data Formats: If the data being processed does not conform to the expected format (e.g., a date in an incorrect format), it can lead to conversion errors.
  
  
  Null or Empty Values: Operations involving null or empty values can also trigger this error, especially if the operation expects a valid number.
  
  
  Overflow or Underflow: Performing arithmetic operations that exceed the limits of
