This message typically arises in the context of sales and distribution processes, particularly when dealing with quotations or sales orders.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Working Days: The delivery date falls on a non-working day (e.g., weekends or holidays) as defined in the system's calendar settings.
  Lead Time Configuration: The lead time for processing the order may not allow for the requested delivery date, pushing it to the next available workday.
  Material Availability: The item may not be available for delivery on the requested date due to stock levels or production schedules.
  Delivery Scheduling Settings: The delivery scheduling settings in the material master or sales document may be configured to push delivery dates to the next workday.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Calendar Settings: Review the factory calendar settings in SAP to ensure that the working days are correctly defined. You can do this by navigating to SPRO -> IMG -> Time Management -> Work Schedules.
  Adjust Delivery Date: If the delivery date is not critical, you can manually adjust the delivery date to a valid working day.
  Review Lead Times: Check the lead times defined in the material master or sales order. Adjust them if necessary to allow for the desired delivery date.
  Check Material Availability: Ensure that the material is available for delivery on the requested date. You can check stock levels and production schedules in the relevant transactions (e.g., MD04 for stock overview).
  Consult with Logistics: If the issue persists, consult with your logistics or supply chain team to understand any constraints that may be affecting delivery scheduling.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like VA01 (Create Sales Order), VA02 (Change Sales Order), MD04 (Stock/Requirements List), and MM03 (Display Material) to investigate and resolve the issue.
