• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTI_WD006 - Count time entered is greater than the current local time ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WSTI_WD006: "Count time entered is greater than the current local time":
  
  Error Message
  WSTI_WD006
  
  Text: Count time entered is greater than the current local time
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Time Management (usually in Time Sheet or Time Recording transactions) when a user tries to enter a count time (working time, attendance, or absence time) that is later than the current system time (local time of the server or the user’s time zone).
  In other words, the system prevents users from entering time stamps or durations that are in the future relative to the current local time. This is a validation to avoid incorrect or inconsistent time entries.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When entering clock-in or clock-out times manually in time sheet or attendance recording.
  When entering time confirmations or time events that have a timestamp later than the current system time.
  When the user’s local time zone or system time is not synchronized properly.
  When the backend system time differs from the user’s local time zone, causing the entered time to appear as "future" time.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the entered time:
  
  Ensure that the time you are entering is not ahead of the current local time. Adjust the time to be equal to or earlier than the current time.
  
  
  Verify system time and time zone settings:  
  
  Check the system time on the SAP server (transaction SMICM or OS level).  
  Check the user’s time zone settings in SAP (user parameters or SU01).  
  Make sure the user’s local time zone and the system time zone are correctly set and synchronized.
  
  
  
  Adjust the time entry accordingly:
  
  If the user is entering time for a future date/time (e.g., planning or forecast), this is not allowed by default. You may need to enter the time after the actual time has passed.
  
  
  Check for OSS Notes or system patches:
  
  Sometimes, this behavior can be influenced by system patches or specific SAP Notes. Check SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes related to WSTI_WD006.
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This validation is part of SAP’s time management consistency checks to ensure data integrity.
  If you need to enter future times (e.g., planned working times), consider using planning transactions or different time types that allow future entries.
  The error message is generated by the time evaluation or time recording function modules that validate time entries against the current system time.
