• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/VSS_OL024 - &1: Date at &2 at &3 is outside planning horizon ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/VSS_OL024 indicates that a date specified in your planning process is outside the defined planning horizon. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to plan or execute a transportation process that involves dates that are not within the acceptable range set in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Planning Horizon Configuration: The planning horizon is defined in the system settings, and it specifies the time frame within which planning activities can occur. If a date falls outside this range, the system will trigger this error.
  Incorrect Date Input: The date being used in the planning process may have been entered incorrectly or may not align with the expected dates for the transportation process.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data (e.g., transportation lanes, routes, etc.) that affect the planning horizon.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Planning Horizon Settings:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the planning horizon in SAP TM. This can usually be found under the customizing settings for Transportation Management.
  Ensure that the planning horizon is set appropriately for your business needs. You may need to extend the planning horizon if it is too short.
  
  
  
  Review Date Inputs:
  
  Verify the dates being used in your planning process. Ensure that they fall within the defined planning horizon.
  If you are using dynamic dates (e.g., based on current date), ensure that the logic used to calculate these dates is correct.
  
  
  
  Adjust Master Data:
  
  Check the relevant master data for transportation lanes, routes, and other related objects to ensure they are correctly configured and do not impose additional restrictions on the planning horizon.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to transportation planning and the specific error message for additional context and troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, perform a test run to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the planning process can proceed as expected.
