WS171 - Details

• Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WS171 No time for updating in LIS found for document &1
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the update of data into the Logistics Information System (LIS). Specifically, it means that the system could not find a valid time period (update period) in the LIS for the document number referenced by &1. 
  In other words, the document you are trying to post or update does not fall into any active or open update period in the LIS. The LIS update periods are defined in the system to control when data can be updated or posted to LIS tables. If the document date is outside these periods, the system cannot update LIS and throws this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When posting or updating documents that trigger LIS updates (e.g., goods movements, sales documents, etc.).
  When the LIS update period is not maintained or is closed
