• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 00148 - User account not in validity date ?

  The SAP error message "00148 User account not in validity date" typically indicates that the user account you are trying to access is either not active or has a validity period that does not include the current date. This can happen for various reasons, such as the account being newly created, expired, or not yet activated.
  Cause:
  
  Validity Period: The user account has a defined validity period (start and end dates) and the current date falls outside this range.
  Account Status: The user account may be inactive or locked.
  User Creation: The account may have been created but not yet activated or set to be valid.
  Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may also have validity periods that do not align with the user's account validity.
  
  Solution:
