  The SAP error message 1P828: Next execution date is not specified typically occurs in the context of scheduling jobs or tasks in SAP, particularly when dealing with background jobs or process chains. This error indicates that the system requires a next execution date to be specified for the job or task you are trying to schedule or execute.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the job or task you are trying to schedule does not have a defined next execution date. This can happen if:

  Check Job Variants:
  
  If the job uses a variant, ensure that the variant is correctly configured and that it does not have any missing parameters that could affect the scheduling.
  
  
  
  Review Job Logs:
  
  Check the job logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
