Specifically, the error states that the start date and time must be later than the current date and time. This typically occurs in scenarios where a job is being scheduled to run in the past or at the current time, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Date/Time Input: The user may have entered a start date and time that is either in the past or set to the current date and time.
  Time Zone Issues: There may be discrepancies between the server's time zone and the user's time zone, leading to confusion about what the "current" time is.
  System Clock Issues: The system clock on the server may be incorrect, causing the current date and time to be misrepresented.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Values: Review the start date and time you have entered for the job or process. Ensure that it is set to a future date and time.
  Adjust Time Zone Settings: If you suspect a time zone issue, verify the time zone settings in both the SAP system and your local environment. Make sure they are aligned.
  System Time Verification: Check the system clock on the server to ensure it is set correctly. If it is not, you may need to synchronize it with a reliable time source.
  Re-enter the Date/Time: After confirming the correct future date and time, re-enter the values and try to schedule the job again.
