WY073 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  WY073 - Date & for planned change is not in future
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to enter or save a planned change with a date that is not in the future. In SAP, planned changes (such as planned maintenance orders, planned confirmations, or planned changes in production orders) must have a planned date that is strictly after the current system date or the relevant reference date. If the date entered is today or in the past, the system raises this error to prevent inconsistencies in planning and scheduling.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the planned change date: Ensure that the date you enter for the planned change is a future date relative to the current system date or the reference date used by the system.
  Adjust the date: Change the planned change date to a valid future date.
  Verify system date: Confirm that the system date is correct (transaction SCU3 or check system time)
