  Error Message
  WFCS086 No factory calendar found for plant &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a workflow or a process in SAP tries to determine the factory calendar for a specific plant, but no factory calendar has been assigned or maintained for that plant in the system.
  
  The factory calendar is essential for date calculations, such as determining working days, deadlines, and scheduling.
  If the plant master data does not have an associated factory calendar, the system cannot perform these calculations, leading to this error.
  
  
  Where It Occurs
  
  During workflow processing that involves date calculations.
  When scheduling or deadline monitoring is active.
  In transaction or process steps that require knowledge of working days for a plant.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Assign a Factory Calendar to the Plant:
  
  Go to SPRO (SAP Reference IMG) ? Enterprise Structure ? Definition ? Logistics - General ? Define, copy, delete, check plant.
  Alternatively, directly maintain the plant in transaction OX10.
  In the plant master data, assign the appropriate factory calendar.
  
  
  
  Maintain Factory Calendar:
  
  Use transaction SCAL to create or maintain factory calendars.
  Ensure the calendar assigned to the plant is active and correctly maintained with holidays and working days.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Configuration:
  
  If the error occurs in a workflow, verify that the workflow container or the step is correctly passing the plant information.
  Ensure that the plant exists and is correctly maintained in the system.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After assigning the factory calendar, test the workflow or process again to confirm the error is resolved.

  Notes:
  
  Factory calendars are client-specific.
  Multiple plants can share the same factory calendar if they have the same working days and holidays.
  
  
  Additional Tips:
  
  If multiple plants are involved, ensure each has a valid factory calendar.
  Check for custom workflows or user exits that might override or require specific calendar settings.
