  SAP Error Message:
  
  WES_OUTBOUND120 Error during price conversion for material &1: excessive amount
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the price conversion process for a material when the system detects an excessively large amount that it cannot handle properly. Typically, this happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Price conversions between different currencies or units of measure.
  Price values that exceed the allowed or expected range in the system.
  Incorrect or missing configuration in price determination or conversion settings.
  Data inconsistencies such as incorrect material master data, pricing conditions, or exchange rates.
  
  In particular, the error is often triggered when the converted price amount becomes too large (e.g., due to wrong exchange rates, wrong decimal places, or incorrect unit conversions), causing an overflow or validation failure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify the material's base unit of measure and ensure it is correct.
  Check the price control indicator (Standard Price 'S' or Moving Average Price 'V') in the material master.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Conditions:
  
  Check the pricing conditions used in the transaction or process.
  Ensure that the condition records have correct values and valid currency.
  
  
  
  Verify Currency and Exchange Rates:
  
  Confirm that the currency conversion rates are maintained correctly in the system.
  Check for any unusual or zero exchange rates that might cause incorrect price calculations.
  
  
  
  Unit of Measure Conversion:
  
  Ensure that the unit of measure conversions are properly maintained.
  Incorrect conversion factors can lead to abnormally high price values.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Review the pricing procedure and condition types involved.
  Check if any custom logic or user exits/BADIs are manipulating price values incorrectly.
  
  
  
  Debug or Trace the Process:
  
  If the error occurs during an outbound process (e.g., IDoc or ALE distribution), enable debugging or trace to identify the exact step where the price conversion fails.
  Look for any custom code or enhancements that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup:
  
  If the error is due to corrupted or inconsistent data, consider correcting or re-entering the relevant master or transactional data.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error message is often seen in integration scenarios where pricing data is sent outbound (e.g., to a third-party system or another SAP system).
  It may be related to the WES (Wholesale Execution System) or similar outbound interfaces.
  SAP Notes and OSS messages related to price conversion errors can provide additional insights.
  Check transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material), VK11 (Maintain Pricing Conditions), and OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates) for relevant data.
  If the problem persists, consider raising an SAP support ticket with detailed logs and system information.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  The WES_OUTBOUND120 error indicates a problem with price conversion resulting in an excessive amount, usually due to incorrect data or configuration in material master, pricing conditions, currency exchange rates, or unit conversions. Careful review and correction of these areas typically resolve the issue.
