• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CORE023 - Production date in the future not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CORE023: Production date in the future not possible typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when a user attempts to create or process a production order with a production date that is set in the future. This error is designed to prevent inconsistencies in inventory management and production planning.

  Solution:
  
  Check and Correct the Date: Review the production date entered in the order or document. Ensure that it is set to the current date or a past date. If the production is intended for a future date, you may need to adjust the system settings or processes to accommodate this.
  System Configuration Review: If future production dates are necessary for your business processes, consult with your SAP administrator or technical team to review the system configuration. They may need to adjust settings related to production order processing.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained to enter the correct dates and understand the implications of future dates in production orders.
