This can happen in various transactions, such as production planning, order processing, or scheduling.
  Cause:
  
  
  Date Outside Factory Calendar: The date you are trying to use (represented by &1) is not within the working days defined in the factory calendar (represented by &2). This could be due to:
  
  The date being a holiday or non-working day.
  The date being before or after the defined working period in the factory calendar.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Factory Calendar Assignment: The plant or location may not have the correct factory calendar assigned, leading to discrepancies in date validation.
