  Error Message
  WOD1004: Week >&< is not valid
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs when an invalid week number is entered or processed in a transaction or report related to time management, work schedules, or planning in SAP. The system expects a valid week number (usually between 1 and 52 or 53 depending on the year), but the input or calculated value falls outside this range.
  Common causes include:
  
  Manual entry of an incorrect week number.
  Incorrect calculation or derivation of the week number in custom code or user exits.
  Data inconsistencies in time-related infotypes or planning data.
  Incorrect calendar or fiscal year variant settings that affect week numbering.

  Check the Week Number Input:
  
  Verify that the week number entered is within the valid range for the year.
  Correct any manual input errors.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If the error occurs in a custom program or user exit, debug the code to check how the week number is calculated.
  Ensure that the logic correctly handles week numbers, especially around year boundaries.
  
  
  
  Validate Calendar and Fiscal Year Settings:
  
  Check the calendar variant and fiscal year variant settings in SAP IMG (Implementation Guide).
  Ensure that the week numbering corresponds to the expected standard (ISO weeks or company-specific settings).
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Checks:
  
  Run consistency checks on time management infotypes or planning data.
