  Time Evaluation Settings: If the time evaluation settings are not correctly defined, the system may not be able to calculate the required time.
  Missing Time Records: If there are no time records available for the specific period or object, the system cannot determine the time automatically.
  User Authorizations: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the required data for time determination.
