  SAP Error Message:
  WES_OUTBOUND119
  
  Text: Error in UoM price conversion for material &1 from UoM &2 to UoM &3
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the outbound processing (e.g., delivery, billing, or pricing) when SAP tries to convert the price of a material from one Unit of Measure (UoM) to another, but the system cannot perform the conversion correctly. The reasons can include:
  
  Missing or incorrect UoM conversion factors: The system requires a valid conversion factor between the source UoM (&2) and the target UoM (&3) for the material (&1). If this conversion factor is missing or zero, the conversion fails.
  Inconsistent or incomplete master data: The material master may not have the necessary UoM conversion data maintained.
  Incorrect configuration in pricing or output determination: Sometimes, the pricing procedure or output determination expects prices in a certain UoM, but the system cannot convert due to missing data.
  Custom code or user exits: If there is custom logic that manipulates UoM or pricing, it might cause conversion errors.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master UoM Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Navigate to the Additional Data tab and then to Units of Measure.
  Verify that the conversion factor between the UoM &2 (source) and UoM &3 (target) is maintained correctly.
  If missing, maintain the conversion factor in MM02 (Change Material).
  
  
  
  Maintain UoM Conversion Factors:
  
  Use transaction CUNI (Units of Measure) to check if the units &2 and &3 exist and are correctly defined.
  Ensure that the conversion between these units is possible and correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Condition Records:
  
  Verify if the pricing condition records are maintained in the correct UoM.
  If pricing is maintained in a different UoM, ensure that the system can convert prices correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code or User Exits:
  
  If there are any user exits or BADIs related to pricing or delivery processing, check if they manipulate UoM or prices incorrectly.
  
  
  
  Test Conversion:
  
  You can test the UoM conversion using transaction CUNI or by creating a sales order/delivery and checking if the price conversion works.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Document:
  
  After correcting the UoM conversion data, reprocess the outbound document (delivery, billing, etc.).
