• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FIP_BL_MESSAGE_CLASS224 - The date was changed from &1 to &2 because of the factory calendar ?

  The SAP error message FIP_BL_MESSAGE_CLASS224 indicates that a date was automatically adjusted due to the factory calendar settings in the system.

  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with how the factory calendar is configured, such as incorrect holidays or non-working days.

  Check for Configuration Issues: If the factory calendar appears to be set up correctly, investigate if there are any configuration issues or if the calendar needs to be updated.
  
  
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to enter dates correctly and understand the implications of the factory calendar on their entries.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on how the factory calendar impacts date handling in your specific SAP module.
