  The SAP error message CM_EHHSS_FSI020 indicates that there is an issue with converting an ISO language code to an SAP language code. This typically occurs when the system encounters a language code that it does not recognize or cannot map to an internal SAP language code.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Language Code: The ISO language code provided (represented as &1 in the error message) is not valid or is not recognized by the SAP system.
  Missing Language Configuration: The language may not be configured in the SAP system. If the language is not installed or activated, the system will not be able to convert it.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a typographical error in the language code being used, leading to the system being unable to recognize it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Language Code: Verify that the ISO language code being used is correct. ISO language codes are typically two-letter codes (e.g., "EN" for English, "DE" for German).
  Install/Activate Language: If the language code is valid but not recognized, check if the language is installed in the SAP system. You can do this by:
  
  Going to transaction SMLT (Language Transport) to see if the language is available.
  If it is not installed, you may need to install the language using transaction SMLT or consult your SAP Basis team for assistance.
  
  
  Check Custom Code: If the error arises from custom code or third-party applications, review the code to ensure that it is using valid language codes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes for any specific guidance related to the error message.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Language Codes: SAP uses its own set of language codes that may differ from ISO codes. A mapping of ISO language codes to SAP language codes can be found in SAP documentation.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SMLT, SE63 (for translation), and SPRO (for configuration) to manage language settings.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to language handling in your specific version of SAP.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
