• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EWA322 - Weekday not specified or specified inconsistently ?

  The SAP error message EWA322, which states "Weekday not specified or specified inconsistently," typically occurs in the context of scheduling jobs or tasks in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with background jobs or scheduling reports.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Weekday Specification: The error often arises when the weekday is not specified correctly in the job scheduling parameters. For example, if a job is set to run on a specific day of the week but the configuration does not match the expected format or values.

  Check Job Scheduling Parameters: Review the job scheduling parameters to ensure that the weekday is specified correctly. Make sure that the values entered are valid and consistent with the expected format.
  Specify Weekday: If the weekday is not specified, ensure that you explicitly define which day(s) the job should run. This can usually be done in the job scheduling screen.

  Test the Configuration: After making changes, test the job scheduling to confirm that the error has been resolved and that the job runs as expected.
