  SAP Error Message:
  VF_PRC_QTYCNVFACT007
  
  Text: Enabling agreed conv.factors deactivates scope for changing conv. factors
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to change the conversion factors in a billing document or pricing procedure while the system has the setting "Agreed Conversion Factors" enabled. 
  
  Agreed Conversion Factors means that the conversion factors between units of measure (UoM) are fixed/agreed upon and cannot be changed during billing or pricing.
  When this setting is active, the system locks the conversion factors to prevent any modifications.
  Attempting to change these factors manually or via user exit/custom code leads to this error.
  
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), conversion factors are used to convert quantities from one unit of measure to another (e.g., from pieces to boxes). If the business process requires that these conversion factors remain consistent and agreed upon (e.g., contractually fixed), SAP provides a setting to enforce this.
  When "Agreed Conversion Factors" is enabled:
  
  The system disables the possibility to change conversion factors during billing or pricing.
  This ensures data consistency and compliance with agreed terms.
  Any attempt to override or change these factors triggers the error VF_PRC_QTYCNVFACT007.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the setting for Agreed Conversion Factors:
  
  This setting is controlled in the Sales Document Type or Pricing Procedure configuration.
  In transaction SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Basic Shipping Functions ? Unit of Measure ? Define Conversion Factors.
  Or in SD customizing under Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Units of Measure ? Define Conversion Factors.
  
  
  
  If you need to allow changes to conversion factors:
  
  Disable the "Agreed Conversion Factors" setting.
  This will allow users or processes to modify conversion factors during billing/pricing.
  
  
  
  If the setting must remain enabled:
  
  Ensure that no custom code or user exit tries to change conversion factors.
  Review any enhancements (e.g., user exits, BAdIs) that might be attempting to modify conversion factors and adjust accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check the billing document or pricing procedure:
  
  Make sure that the conversion factors are consistent and do not require changes.
  If changes are necessary, consider revising the business process or contract terms.

  Summary:
  
  Error VF_PRC_QTYCNVFACT007 occurs because the system prevents changes to conversion factors when "Agreed Conversion Factors" is enabled.
  To fix, either disable the agreed conversion factor setting or avoid changing conversion factors during billing/pricing.
  Review custom code and business processes to ensure compliance with this setting.
