  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The step in question may be configured in a way that does not support start dates and times. This could be due to the nature of the step or the workflow it is part of.
  Workflow Design: The workflow may be designed such that certain steps are meant to be executed immediately or in a specific sequence without the need for scheduling.

  Review Workflow Configuration: Check the configuration of the workflow and the specific step to ensure that it is set up correctly. If the step is not supposed to have a start date and time, remove those entries.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the IAM module to understand the constraints and requirements for the specific steps in your workflow.
