  Check the Dates: Review the declaration date and the declaration by date in your transaction. Ensure that the declaration date is set to a date that is earlier than the declaration by date.
  
  
  Adjust the Dates: If the declaration date is incorrect, modify it to a date that is earlier than the declaration by date. This may involve changing the date in the relevant transaction or document.
  
  
  Validation: After making the necessary adjustments, validate the changes to ensure that the error no longer appears.
  
  
  Testing: If applicable, test the process in a development or quality assurance environment to ensure that the changes work as expected before applying them in the production environment.
