  SAP Error Message WT221
  Message Text:
  
  The planning data was set to date &1
  
  Cause
  This message typically appears in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) when dealing with planning data or stock data that is valid only up to a certain date.
  
  The system is informing you that the planning data (such as stock, requirements, or transfer orders) has been set or updated only up to a specific date (represented by &1).
  This can happen if the planning horizon or the validity period for the data is limited or has been restricted.
  It may also occur if the system is trying to process or plan beyond the available data range, and thus it stops or warns you at the last valid date.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During stock/requirement planning in Warehouse Management.
  When executing transfer order creation or stock transfer processes.
  When the system checks or updates planning data validity periods.
  When the planning data is incomplete or only partially maintained.
  
  
  Solution / How to resolve
  
  
  Check the planning horizon or validity period:
  
  Verify the planning data validity dates in the system.
  Extend the planning horizon if necessary, so that the data covers the required period.
  
  
  
  Update or maintain planning data:
  
  Ensure that the planning data (stock, requirements, transfer orders) is maintained correctly and up to date.
  If the data is outdated, update it to include the necessary future dates.
  
  
  
  Review customizing settings:
  
  Check the settings related to planning data validity in the Warehouse Management or Inventory Management customizing.
  Adjust parameters that control the planning horizon or data validity.
  
  
  
  Check for incomplete or missing data:
  
  Investigate if any master data or transactional data is missing or incomplete, causing the system to limit the planning data.
