  Cause:
  This error typically occurs during the processing or conversion of textile maintenance codes assigned to a material. The system is unable to correctly interpret or convert the maintenance code associated with the specified material (&1). Possible reasons include:
  
  The textile maintenance code assigned to the material is invalid or not maintained in the system.

  Customizing or user-exit issues where the conversion logic is implemented but fails for certain codes.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Textile Maintenance Code for the Material:

  Check Conversion Tables or User-Exits:
  
  If there is a custom conversion logic (user-exit or BAdI) for textile maintenance codes, debug or review the code to identify why the conversion fails.
  Look for missing entries or incorrect logic that causes the conversion error.
