• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VQ213 - Date set to & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VQ213 - Date set to &
  
  Cause:
  The message VQ213 typically appears in SAP when a date field is automatically set or defaulted by the system during a transaction or process. The ampersand (&) in the message is a placeholder for the actual date value that the system sets.
  This message is informational and usually indicates that the system has assigned a date (often the current date or a system-determined date) to a field because the user did not enter one or the entered date was invalid or missing.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During document posting or data entry in modules like MM (Materials Management), SD (Sales and Distribution), or FI (Financial Accounting).
  When a date field is left blank or an invalid date is entered, and the system defaults it to a valid date.
  In some cases, during batch input or data migration, the system sets dates automatically.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the date field: Verify if the date field in question was left blank or incorrectly entered.
  Enter a valid date: If the system default is not appropriate, manually enter the correct date.
  Review user input: Ensure that the user inputs the correct date format and valid date values.
  Check customizing/settings: If the system is defaulting dates incorrectly, review the configuration or user exit that controls date defaults.
  Ignore if informational: Since VQ213 is often informational, if the date set by the system is correct, no action may be needed.
