• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD260 - Task '&' is not fully within the validity period of the workflow ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WD260 Task '&' is not fully within the validity period of the workflow
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a workflow task is assigned or triggered, but the task's validity period does not fully fall within the validity period of the workflow container or the workflow definition itself. In other words, the task's start and end dates are outside the allowed timeframe defined for the workflow or the workflow container.
  More specifically:  
  
  Each workflow and its tasks have validity periods (start and end dates).  
  If a task's validity period is not completely covered by the workflow's validity period, the system raises this error.  
  This can happen if the workflow definition was changed (e.g., validity dates adjusted) but the tasks were not updated accordingly.  
  It can also occur if the workflow is triggered with a date outside the task's validity
