The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Enter a two-character ISO code or a one-character SAP language, as
specified in table T002.
The languages Z2 through Z9 are <ZK>correspondence languages</>. You
install these languages as described in SAP Note
302063, if they do not already exist in the system.
Remember that the significance of the correspondence language must be
the same in both systems. For example, if your Unicode system
communicates with different MDMP systems, and these MDMP systems
each assign a different
significance to a specified correspondence language, then the
application may interpret data with these language keys in
different ways.
