    SAP Error Message:

    VO702 Unexpected return code CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT: &


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs during the output processing of a sales document (e.g., order, delivery, billing) when the system tries to convert or format a unit of measure (UoM) using a conversion exit function module, specifically CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT.

    • The function module CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT is responsible for converting internal unit of measure codes into external (display) format.
    • The error indicates that this conversion function returned an unexpected or error code, which the output processing program (like output determination or print program) did not anticipate.
    • Possible reasons include:
      • The unit of measure code in the document is invalid or not maintained properly.
      • The conversion exit function encountered an unexpected input or internal error.
      • Customizations or user exits/enhancements affecting unit of measure conversion are faulty.
      • Data inconsistencies in the material master or sales document.

    Solution:

    1. Check Unit of Measure Data:

      • Verify that the unit of measure used in the sales document is valid and correctly maintained in SAP.
      • Transaction codes to check:
        • CUNI — Units of Measure maintenance.
        • MM03 — Material master to check base and alternative units.
      • Ensure that the unit exists and is consistent.
    2. Debug the Conversion Exit:

      • Debug the function module CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT to see what input it receives and why it returns an unexpected code.
      • Check for any custom code or enhancements that might influence this function.
    3. Check Output Determination and Forms:

      • If the error occurs during output processing (e.g., printing or emailing documents), check the output program or form.
      • Look for any custom code that calls the conversion exit or handles units of measure.
      • Ensure that the output program handles error codes gracefully.
    4. Data Consistency Checks:

      • Run consistency checks on sales documents and material master data.
      • Use transaction VA02 or VA03 to review the document.
      • Check for any unusual or non-standard units.
    5. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Search SAP Notes for known issues related to CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT and message VO702.
      • Apply any relevant patches or corrections.
