This message indicates that the system has defaulted an expiration date to a specific value (represented by &1), which may not be the intended or expected behavior.

  Check Master Data: Review the relevant master data (e.g., business partner, vendor, customer) to ensure that the expiration date is correctly filled in.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to business partner management or the specific module you are working with. Ensure that the settings align with your business requirements.
