  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WGDS_COMMON006 The language iso code (&1) is not valid.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when an invalid or unrecognized ISO language code is used in a process or configuration within SAP. The system expects a valid ISO language code (usually a two-letter or sometimes three-letter code) that corresponds to a supported language in SAP. If the code provided does not match any of the valid language codes maintained in the system, this error is triggered.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Entering or importing data with an incorrect or unsupported language code.
  Configuration or master data maintenance where the language code is specified.
  Integration or interface scenarios where language codes are passed between systems.
  Custom developments or enhancements that validate language codes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify the Language Code:
  
  Check the language code that caused the error. The placeholder &1 in the message will be replaced by the actual code.
  Ensure that the language code conforms to the ISO standard and is supported by your SAP system.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Language Settings:
  
  Use transaction SMLT (Maintain Languages) to view the list of installed and supported languages in your SAP system.
  If the language code is not present, you may need to install or enable the language in your system.
  
  
  
  Correct the Input Data:
  
  If the error occurs during data entry or import, correct the language code in the source data.
  Make sure that any interfaces or external systems sending data to SAP use valid language codes.
  
  
  
  Adjust Custom Code or Configuration:
  
  If the error arises from custom developments, check the code that validates or processes language codes.
  Ensure that the validation logic aligns with the SAP-supported language codes.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address issues with language codes or provide patches/fixes.
