• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1P844 - Next run date &1 is either in past or in suspension period ?

  The SAP error message 1P844 indicates that the next run date for a scheduled job is either in the past or falls within a suspension period. This typically occurs in the context of background job scheduling in SAP, where jobs are set to run at specific times.
  Cause:
  
  Next Run Date in the Past: The scheduled date and time for the job to run has already passed, meaning the job cannot be executed as planned.
  Suspension Period: The job is scheduled to run during a time when it is suspended, which could be due to system maintenance, downtime, or specific configuration settings that prevent jobs from running during certain periods.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Job Schedule:
  
  Go to transaction code SM37 (Job Monitoring).
  Look for the job in question and check its next scheduled run date and time.
  If the date is in the past, you will need to reschedule the job.
  
  
  
  Reschedule the Job:
  
  If the job is in the past, you can either change the existing job's schedule or create a new job with the correct timing.
  To change the job, use transaction code SM36 to modify the job's schedule.
  
  
  
  Check for Suspension Periods:
  
  Review the job's configuration to see if there are any defined suspension periods.
  If the job is set to run during a suspension period, adjust the schedule to a time outside of that period.
  
  
  
  Review System Settings:
  
  Check if there are any system-wide settings or maintenance windows that might affect job scheduling.
  Consult with your SAP Basis team if necessary to understand any restrictions in place.
  
  
  
  Monitor Job Execution:
  
  After rescheduling, monitor the job execution to ensure it runs successfully at the new scheduled time.
