  The SAP error message OIJ_3WP044, which states "At least two items of one carrier nomination have different header fields," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Oil and Gas (OIJ) module when there is an inconsistency in the data associated with a carrier nomination. This error indicates that the system has detected discrepancies in the header fields of the items within a single carrier nomination, which should be uniform across all items.
  Causes:
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: The most common cause is that the items within the carrier nomination have different values in key header fields, such as:
  
  Carrier ID
  Nomination date
  Delivery point
  Product type
  Quantity
  
  
  
  Manual Entry Errors: If the nomination was created or modified manually, there may have been an oversight in ensuring that all items share the same header information.
  
  
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system or if there were recent changes in the configuration, inconsistencies may have been introduced.
