• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KV822 - The indicator "only execute on workdays" was set automatically ?

  The SAP error message KV822, which states "The indicator 'only execute on workdays' was set automatically," typically occurs in the context of scheduling jobs or tasks in SAP that are set to run only on workdays. This message indicates that the system has automatically adjusted the scheduling parameters to ensure that the job does not run on weekends or holidays.
  Cause:
  
  Job Scheduling Settings: The job or task you are trying to schedule has been configured to run only on workdays. This is often a standard setting to prevent jobs from executing on non-working days.
  Calendar Configuration: The system may have a calendar defined that specifies which days are considered workdays. If the current date falls on a weekend or holiday, the system will automatically adjust the scheduling.
  User Input: If a user attempts to schedule a job on a non-working day, the system may automatically change the settings to comply with the workday restriction.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Scheduling Parameters: Review the job scheduling parameters to ensure that they are set correctly. If you want the job to run on weekends or holidays, you may need to change the settings.
  Modify the Calendar: If the workday settings are too restrictive, consider modifying the calendar configuration in SAP to include additional days as workdays if appropriate.
  Manual Adjustment: If you need the job to run on a specific non-working day, you can manually adjust the scheduling to override the automatic settings, but be cautious as this may lead to unintended consequences.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to adjust job scheduling settings and calendar configurations.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) or SM36 (Define Job) to manage job scheduling.
