• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEWMHIK044 - You have entered one inspection period in months and one in years ?

  The SAP error message EEWMHIK044 indicates that there is a mismatch in the input for inspection periods in a Quality Management (QM) context. Specifically, it occurs when you have entered one inspection period in months and another in years, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system detects that the inspection period is defined inconsistently. For example, if you specify an inspection period of 6 months and also try to enter an inspection period of 1 year, the system cannot process this because it expects both periods to be defined in the same unit (either both in months or both in years).
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that both inspection periods are defined using the same unit of measurement. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Inspection Periods: Review the inspection period settings in the relevant configuration or transaction. Make sure that both periods are either in months or in years.
  
  
  Adjust Input: If you find that one period is in months and the other is in years, convert one of them to match the other. For example:
  
  If you have 6 months and 1 year, convert 1 year to 12 months.
  Alternatively, if you want to keep the year format, convert 6 months to 0.5 years.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and try to execute the transaction again.
