  Key Concepts: 
  A conversion rule is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP software. It is used to convert data from one format to another, such as from a text field to a number field. The conversion rule defines the logic for how the data should be converted and can be used to ensure data accuracy and consistency.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a conversion rule, you must first create it in the ABAP Runtime Environment. This can be done by selecting the “Conversion Rules” option in the ABAP Runtime Environment menu. Once created, you can then assign the conversion rule to a field or table in your SAP system. This will ensure that any data entered into that field or table will be automatically converted according to the logic defined in the conversion rule.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a conversion rule, it is important to consider how it will affect existing data in your system. If you are converting from one format to another, make sure that any existing data is compatible with the new format before applying the conversion rule. Additionally, it is important to test your conversion rule thoroughly before applying it to your system.
