  The SAP error message CY705 ("Order & operation &: 'Today' scheduling since time is in the past") typically occurs in the context of production planning and scheduling within SAP. This error indicates that the system is trying to schedule an operation for a time that has already passed, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Past Date/Time: The scheduling is attempting to set a start or finish time for an operation that is earlier than the current system time.
  Incorrect System Time: The system time on the SAP server may be incorrect, leading to scheduling conflicts.
  Order Status: The order may have been created or modified in a way that causes the scheduling to reference a past date/time.
  Scheduling Parameters: The parameters set for scheduling (like lead times, float times, etc.) may not be configured correctly, leading to unrealistic scheduling.

  Check System Time: Ensure that the system time on the SAP server is correct. If it is incorrect, it may need to be adjusted by the system administrator.

  Adjust Scheduling Parameters: Review and adjust the scheduling parameters for the order. This may include lead times, float times, and other relevant settings.
  Re-schedule the Order: If the order has been created with incorrect dates, you may need to delete the existing scheduling and re-schedule the order.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or constraints that are causing the scheduling to default to a past time.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on scheduling and order management.
