  Review Scheduling Parameters: Check the scheduling parameters in the order type configuration to ensure they are set correctly. This can be done in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Recreate the Order: If the order is not yet released, consider deleting and recreating the order with the correct dates.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the order type being used and its scheduling rules.
