  Cause:
  This error occurs when a language field is left empty or an invalid language entry is made in a SAP screen or transaction related to Global Trade Services (GTS) or other SAP modules where language input is mandatory. The system expects the user to either select a valid language code or enter a valid language description, but neither was provided or the input was incorrect.

  Data upload or interface programs missing language information.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter a Valid Language Code or Description:
  
  When prompted, select a language from the dropdown list or enter a valid language code (e.g., EN for English, DE for German).
  Ensure the language code matches the SAP standard language codes configured in your system.
  
  
  
  Check Mandatory Fields:
  
  Verify that the language field is not left blank.
  If you are using a custom screen or enhancement, ensure the language field is properly populated before saving.
