WG008 - Details

• The SAP error message WG008 states:
  "Delivery date in item & req. no & missing. Today's date will be set."
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  
  This message occurs when a delivery date is missing in a line item of a document (such as a sales order, purchase order, or scheduling agreement).
  The system expects a delivery date to be specified for each item to process the document correctly.
  Since the delivery date is missing, SAP automatically sets the delivery date to the current date (today's date) to avoid processing errors.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During creation or change of sales documents (e.g., sales orders, deliveries).
  When the delivery date field in an item is left blank or not maintained.
  It can also occur in purchase documents or scheduling agreements where delivery dates are mandatory.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Manually enter the delivery date:
  
  Go to the item details in the document.
  Enter a valid delivery date in the delivery date field.
  This ensures the system uses the correct planned
