  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W0128 - Max.requested del. time is maintained, but "Enter req. del. date" not set
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when the maximum requested delivery time is maintained in the material master or customer master, but the system setting or configuration does not require the entry of a requested delivery date in the sales order or delivery document.
  In other words, the system expects a requested delivery date to be entered because a maximum requested delivery time is defined, but the sales order or delivery document does not have the "Enter requested delivery date" flag set or the requested delivery date field is left blank.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Max. requested delivery time is a parameter that defines the maximum time allowed between the order date and the requested delivery date.
  If this is maintained, the system expects the user to enter a requested delivery date in the sales order.
  If the system is not configured to require the requested delivery date, or the user does not enter it, this warning is triggered.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Material Master (MM03):  
  
  Go to the Sales: General/Plant view.
  Verify if the Max. requested delivery time is maintained.
  
  
  
  Check the Customer Master (VD03/FD03):  
  
  In the sales area data, check if the "Enter requested delivery date" indicator is set.
  
  
  
  Set the "Enter requested delivery date" flag:  
  
  In the Sales Document Type configuration (Transaction SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Sales ? Sales Documents ? Sales Document Header ? Define Sales Document Types), check if the sales document type requires the requested delivery date.
  Alternatively, in the customer master sales area data, set the flag "Enter requested delivery date" to ensure the requested delivery date is entered during sales order creation.
  
  
  
  Enter the Requested Delivery Date in the Sales Order:  
  
  When creating or changing the sales order, ensure the Requested Delivery Date field is filled.
  
  
  
  If the requested delivery date is not relevant:  
  
  Remove or adjust the Max. requested delivery time in the material master or customer master to avoid this warning.

  Summary:
  
  The warning W0128 indicates a mismatch between the maximum requested delivery time setting and the absence of a requested delivery date entry.
  To resolve, either ensure the requested delivery date is entered or adjust the master data/settings to align with business requirements.
