• Message class: UCT8 - Message class for UCT8(mapping)

• Message number: 212

• Message text: Output conversion for field &1 has no unit of measure

What causes this issue?

The system requires the unit of measure of a key figure during the conve
rsion from the external format to the SAP-internal format and during the
conversion from the SAP-internal format to the external format.
The mapping rule for field &V1& contains a move with a selected <LS>
Conversion Exit</> indicator. Therefore, the system requires the unit of
measure during output conversion. However, during the output conversion
the system discovered that the unit of measure is missing.

System Response

The result of the conversion may be incorrect, and consequently the mapp
ing of the field may be incorrect, too.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the <LS>Conversion Exit</> indicator is necessary for
field &V1&. If it is not necessary, deselect the indicator and execute
the method again.
