• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO500 - Date not in the factory calendar (future) ?

  The SAP error message CO500, which states "Date not in the factory calendar (future)," typically occurs when a date being used in a transaction or process is not valid according to the factory calendar settings in SAP.
