  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WGDS_PROCESS403 - Effective date not supplied, current date &1 will be used
  
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when a process or transaction in SAP that requires an effective date (such as a date for a change, posting, or validity) is executed without explicitly providing that date. Since the system needs an effective date to process the data correctly, it defaults to using the current system date (the date on which the transaction is run).
  In other words, the user or program did not supply an effective date parameter, so SAP automatically uses the current date to proceed.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During master data changes (e.g., vendor, customer, material master) where validity periods or effective dates are relevant.
  In HR infotype processing where changes are date-dependent.
  In workflow or document processing where an effective date is mandatory.
  In custom programs or interfaces where the effective date field
