  SAP Error Message:
  
  WT705 - Enter a valid planning date
  
  Cause:
  The error message WT705 occurs when the planning date entered in a work scheduling or production planning transaction is not valid. This typically means:
  
  The planning date is outside the allowed or defined planning horizon.
  The planning date is before the current date or outside the valid period defined in the system.
  The date entered does not comply with the factory calendar or planning parameters.
  The system expects a date within a certain range, and the entered date falls outside this range.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During production order scheduling.
  When entering or changing planned dates in work scheduling.
  While creating or modifying planned orders or maintenance orders.
  In capacity planning or material requirements planning (MRP) transactions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Planning Date:
  
  Ensure the date entered is within the valid planning horizon.
  Use a date that is on or after the current system date and within the allowed planning period.
  
  
  
  Verify Factory Calendar:
  
  Confirm that the planning date falls on a working day according to the factory calendar assigned to the work center or plant.
  Adjust the date if it falls on a non-working day or holiday.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Parameters:
  
  Review the planning horizon settings in Customizing (SPRO) under:
  
  Production Planning and Control ? Basic Data ? Define Planning Horizon
