  The SAP error message 61222, which states "Time interpretation only possible when using period lot size with planning calendar," typically occurs in the context of production planning and material requirements planning (MRP) when there is a mismatch in the configuration of lot sizing and the planning calendar.
  Cause:
  This error arises when:
  
  Lot Size Configuration: The lot size is set to a period lot size (e.g., monthly, weekly) but the planning calendar is not properly configured to support this type of lot size.
