• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SRMSMC/EVAL_EV_TRIG030 - Event date &1 is in the future; not allowed in event-driven eval. process ?

  The SAP error message /SRMSMC/EVAL_EV_TRIG030 indicates that there is an issue with the event date specified in an event-driven evaluation process. Specifically, the error states that the event date is set in the future, which is not allowed in this context.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the event date you are trying to use for the evaluation process is later than the current date.

  Adjust the Date: If the event date is indeed in the future, change it to the current date or a past date that is valid for your evaluation process.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are unsure why a future date is being set, review the configuration of the event-driven evaluation process. There may be a logic or configuration issue that is causing the future date to be assigned.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the evaluation process to ensure that the error is resolved.
