• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060055 - Conversion error during upload (code page &). See long text ?

  The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060055 indicates a conversion error during the upload process, specifically related to code pages. This error typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the character encoding of the data being uploaded and the expected character encoding in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Character Encoding Mismatch: The data file being uploaded may be encoded in a different character set than what the SAP system expects. For example, if the file is in UTF-8 but the SAP system is expecting a different encoding (like ISO-8859-1), this can lead to conversion errors.
  Invalid Characters: The data file may contain characters that are not valid in the expected code page, leading to conversion failures.
  Incorrect Configuration: The settings in the LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) project may not be correctly configured to handle the specific character set of the input data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Character Encoding: Ensure that the file you are trying to upload is in the correct character encoding. You can use text editors or tools to check and convert the file encoding if necessary.
  
  For example, if the SAP system expects ISO-8859-1, make sure your file is saved in that encoding.
  
  
  Adjust LSMW Settings: Review the LSMW project settings to ensure that the correct code page is specified. You may need to adjust the settings to match the encoding of your input file.
  Data Cleansing: Inspect the data for any invalid characters that may not be supported by the target code page. Remove or replace these characters as needed.
  Test with Sample Data: Before uploading large datasets, test the upload process with a small sample of data to ensure that the encoding and data format are correct.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to LSMW and character encoding issues. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common problems.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for LSMW and data upload processes to understand the expected formats and configurations.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or support channels where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  By addressing the character encoding and ensuring that the data is clean and correctly configured, you should be able to resolve the conversion error during the upload process.
