• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCOM_MONITOR753 - Invalid time: enter the time in the form &1 ?

  The SAP error message FCOM_MONITOR753 indicates that there is an issue with the time format entered in a specific field. The message suggests that the time should be entered in a specific format, which is typically HH:MM (hours and minutes).
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The time input does not conform to the expected format (e.g., entering "25:00" or "12:60" is invalid).
  The time is entered in an incorrect format (e.g., using a 12-hour format instead of a 24-hour format).
  There may be leading or trailing spaces in the input field.
  The field may be expecting a different type of input (e.g., a date-time format instead of just time).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check the Format: Ensure that the time is entered in the correct format (HH:MM). For example, valid entries would be "14:30" for 2:30 PM or "09:15" for 9:15 AM.
  Remove Spaces: Make sure there are no leading or trailing spaces in the input field.
  Use 24-Hour Format: If the system expects a 24-hour format, ensure that you are not using a 12-hour format (e.g., "02:30 PM" should be entered as "14:30").
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the expected format, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or help files for guidance on the specific field you are working with.
  Test with Valid Inputs: Try entering a few valid time values to see if the error persists.
