  SAP Message: WRF_DISPRO004
  Text: Do you want to save the time-dependent data??
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears in SAP when you are working with time-dependent master data or time-dependent configuration data in the Production Planning (PP) or Discrete Manufacturing area, especially when maintaining work centers, routings, or production versions.
  
  The system detects that you have made changes to data that is valid for a specific time period (time-dependent data).
  SAP wants to confirm whether you want to save these changes as time-dependent entries (i.e., valid from a certain date onwards) or not.
  This is a standard prompt to ensure that users are aware that the data they are changing is time-dependent and that saving it will create or modify records with validity dates.
  
  
  When does it appear?
  
  When you change or create data that has validity periods (e.g., work center capacities, routing operations, production versions).
  When you modify data that is maintained with validity dates (start and end dates).
  When the system detects that the data you are editing is not just a simple overwrite but involves time-dependent records.
  
  
  Solution / How to handle it:
  
  
  If you want to save the changes as time-dependent data:
  
  Click Yes to confirm. The system will save the data with the appropriate validity dates.
  
  
  If you do not want to save the changes as time-dependent data:
  
  Click No to cancel the save or reconsider your changes.
  
  
  If you want to avoid this prompt in the future:
  
  This message is a standard SAP prompt and cannot be disabled easily because it ensures data integrity for time-dependent data. However, proper training and understanding of time-dependent data maintenance can reduce confusion.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Time-dependent data in SAP means data that is valid only for a certain period (e.g., a work center capacity valid from 01.01.2024 to 31.12.2024).
  This message is common in modules like PP (Production Planning), PM (Plant Maintenance), and QM (Quality Management) where master data often has validity periods.
  When maintaining routings or production versions, SAP allows you to maintain multiple versions valid for different time periods.
  Always check the validity dates when saving data to avoid unintended overwrites or gaps in data validity.
