  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UC022 - Conversion exit &1 does not exist ?

    The SAP error message UC022, which states "Conversion exit &1 does not exist," typically occurs when the system is trying to use a conversion exit that has not been defined or is not available in the system. Conversion exits are used in SAP to convert data from one format to another, particularly for fields that require specific formatting, such as date formats, currency formats, or other specialized data types.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Conversion Exit: The specified conversion exit (indicated by &1 in the error message) is not defined in the system.
    2. Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the name of the conversion exit being called.
    3. Incorrect Data Element: The data element associated with the field may not have a conversion exit defined.
    4. Custom Development: If the conversion exit is part of a custom development, it may not have been implemented correctly or may be missing.

    Solution:

    1. Check Conversion Exit: Verify if the conversion exit exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) and checking the data element associated with the field in question.
    2. Correct Typographical Errors: Ensure that the name of the conversion exit is spelled correctly in the code or configuration where it is being called.
    3. Define Conversion Exit: If the conversion exit is indeed missing, you may need to create it. This can be done using transaction SE37 (Function Builder) to create a new function module that serves as the conversion exit.
    4. Review Data Element: Check the data element associated with the field to ensure that it has the correct conversion exit assigned. You can do this in SE11 by looking at the attributes of the data element.
    5. Consult Documentation: If the conversion exit is part of a standard SAP module, consult the SAP documentation or support to see if there are any known issues or updates related to that conversion exit.
