  Error Message
  WG458 PO &1 rejected: delivery date too far in future
  
  &1 is a placeholder for the Purchase Order (PO) number.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the delivery date entered in a Purchase Order (PO) is beyond the allowed maximum future date limit set in the system. SAP has a validation check to prevent users from entering delivery dates that are unrealistically far in the future, which could cause planning and scheduling issues.
  The system compares the delivery date against a configured maximum allowed future date interval. If the delivery date exceeds this interval, the PO is rejected with this error.
  
  Where is this check controlled?
  The maximum allowed future delivery date is controlled by the customizing setting:
  
  Transaction: OMI4 (for Purchasing Document Types)
  Or via the Delivery Date Tolerance settings in the material master or purchasing info records.
  Sometimes, it can also be controlled by user exits or BAdIs that enforce custom validations.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the delivery date entered:
  
  Verify the delivery date in the PO line item.
  Ensure it is within a reasonable timeframe from the current date.
  
  
  
  Adjust the allowed future date interval:
  
  Go to transaction OMI4 (or relevant customizing path):
  
  Navigate to Logistics ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Purchase Order ? Define Delivery Date Tolerance.
  Increase the allowed maximum future delivery date interval if business requirements justify longer lead times.
  
  
  Alternatively, check if there is a tolerance defined in the material master or info record that restricts the delivery date.
  
  
  
  If the delivery date is correct and business requires it:
  
  Adjust the customizing settings to allow longer future delivery dates.
  Communicate with the purchasing and planning teams to confirm the validity of such long-term delivery dates.
  
  
  
  Check for custom validations:
  
  Sometimes, custom user exits or BAdIs (e.g., ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST) might enforce stricter delivery date checks.
  Review and adjust the custom code if necessary.
