  Solution:

  Review Sales Order/Delivery:
  
  Check the sales order or delivery document for any inconsistencies or errors in the date fields. Make sure that all relevant dates are correctly filled out.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you suspect that the shipping point calendar is incorrectly configured, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the calendar settings are accurate and reflect the actual working days of the shipping point.
