• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MFG_UI025 - Start in hours from now cannot be used with start date or time ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MFG_UI025 Start in hours from now cannot be used with start date or time typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is a conflict between the start time specified for a task and the current date/time settings.
  Cause:
  This error arises when:
  
  You are trying to schedule a task with a start time that is set to a specific date and time, but you also have a relative time (like "start in X hours") specified.
  The system does not allow a combination of absolute and relative time settings for scheduling tasks.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Input Fields: Ensure that you are not mixing absolute and relative time inputs. If you are specifying a start date or time, do not use the "start in hours from now" option.
  
  
  Use Consistent Time Settings:
  
  If you want to use a specific start date and time, make sure to enter that only.
  If you prefer to use a relative time (like "start in X hours"), then remove any specific date or time inputs.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Scheduling Parameters: Depending on your requirements, adjust the scheduling parameters to either use a specific date/time or a relative time, but not both.
  
  
  Review System Settings: If the issue persists, check if there are any system settings or configurations that might be affecting the scheduling behavior.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation or help resources for more detailed information on scheduling tasks and the expected formats for date and time inputs.
