This error indicates that the system is unable to determine a valid start time for forward scheduling based on the parameters set in the system.

  Scheduling Parameters: The scheduling parameters defined in the material master or in the sales order may not be set correctly, leading to issues in calculating the forward scheduling.

  Check Calendar Settings: Ensure that the factory calendar and work schedules are correctly configured. This includes checking for holidays, working days, and shifts.
