  SAP Error Message:
  WFD_BL_MSG086 - The full transmission date cannot be empty.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a process or transaction in SAP requires a "full transmission date" (often related to workflow, document transmission, or electronic data interchange) but the date field is left blank or not maintained. The system expects a valid date to proceed, and if it is missing, it triggers this error.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Workflow steps involving document transmission where the completion or transmission date must be recorded.
  Electronic document processing (e.g., IDocs, EDI) where the full transmission date is mandatory.
  Billing or delivery documents where the transmission date is a required field.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the relevant date field:
  
  Identify the transaction or workflow step where the error occurs.
  Ensure that the "full transmission date" or equivalent date field is filled in correctly.
  
  
  
  Maintain the date manually:
  
  If the date is missing, enter the correct date (usually the date when the document or data was fully transmitted).
  
  
  
  Automatic date determination:
  
  If the date should be set automatically, check the configuration or custom code to ensure the date is being populated correctly.
