MPLAN418 - Details

• The SAP error message MPLAN418 indicates that the planned date for a service order or maintenance plan is outside the validity period of the associated service contract. This typically occurs when you attempt to schedule a service or maintenance task that is not covered by the existing contract due to date constraints.
  
  Cause:
  
  Contract Validity Period: The service contract has a defined start and end date, and the planned date for the service order falls outside this range.

  Contract Status: The service contract may be inactive or not valid for the requested service type.
  Contract Type: The type of service contract may not cover the specific service or maintenance task being planned.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Contract Validity: Verify the validity period of the service contract. Ensure that the planned date falls within this period.
