  Generic Value Conversion is a feature in SAP Employee Central that allows users to convert values from one format to another. This feature is used to convert values from one data type to another, such as from a text field to a number field. It can also be used to convert values from one currency to another. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Generic Value Conversion, users must first define the conversion rules in the system. This can be done by creating a new conversion rule or editing an existing one. Once the rules are defined, users can then apply the conversion rule to any field in the system. The converted value will then be displayed in the desired format. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a new conversion rule, it is important to ensure that the source and target fields are compatible. For example, if you are converting a text field to a number field, make sure that the source field contains only numerical values. Additionally, when converting between currencies, make sure that the exchange rate is up-to-date.
