Hi Shellz,

"Arithmetical errors or conversion errors found in routine" means that while performing your routine, it has encountered an exception(arithmetic or conversion error while processing the routine)

I assume that in your case , there might be a DIVIDE BY ZERO error.

Can you check the field Quantity(GML) for the record you are encountering the error? It might be blank or ZERO, When ever you perform a Division it is better to check if the Value is intial or zero before you perform the calculation to avoid such errors.
