• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ME080 - Delivery date: next workday is & ?

  The SAP error message ME080 indicates that the delivery date specified in a purchase order or related document is not valid because it falls on a non-working day. This typically occurs when the system is configured to recognize certain days as non-working days (such as weekends or holidays), and the delivery date you have entered does not align with the working calendar.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Working Days: The specified delivery date is a weekend or a public holiday as defined in the factory calendar.
  Calendar Settings: The factory calendar settings in SAP may not be aligned with the actual working days of the organization.
  Lead Time Considerations: The lead time for processing the order may not account for non-working days, leading to a delivery date that is not feasible.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change the Delivery Date: Adjust the delivery date to a valid working day. You can do this by selecting a date that is not a weekend or holiday.
  Check Factory Calendar: Review the factory calendar settings in SAP to ensure that it accurately reflects the working days and holidays for your organization. You can do this by navigating to:
  
  Transaction Code: SCAL (for maintaining the factory calendar).
  
  
  Adjust Lead Times: If applicable, review and adjust the lead times in the material master or purchasing info records to ensure they consider non-working days.
  Use the Next Workday: If you are unsure of the next valid working day, you can use the system's suggestion (as indicated in the error message) to select the next workday.
