SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 213

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

What causes this issue?

The system uses the unit of measure of a key figure during the conversio
n 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>
Input Conversion</> indicator. Therefore, the system uses the unit
during input conversion. However, during the input 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?

Make sure that suitable mapping rules are defined for the key figures th
at use units (such as the currency key or unit of measure). Check
whether the <LS>Conversion</> indicator is necessary for field &V1&. If
it is not necessary, deselect the indicator and execute the method
again.

Procedure for System Administrators

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