This error indicates that the system encountered a problem while trying to parse a JSON date format in the incoming data.
  Causes:
  
  Invalid JSON Format: The JSON data being sent to the AIF might not be correctly formatted. This could include issues like missing quotes, incorrect data types, or improperly structured JSON.
  Date Format Issues: The date format in the JSON might not match the expected format in SAP. For example, if the date is sent in a format that SAP does not recognize, it can lead to parsing errors.
  Large Payloads: If the JSON payload is too large, it might exceed the limits set in the AIF configuration, leading to parsing issues.
  Encoding Issues: There might be character encoding issues, especially if special characters are present in the JSON data.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Validate JSON Structure: Use a JSON validator tool to check the structure of the JSON data being sent. Ensure that it adheres to the correct JSON syntax.
  Check Date Formats: Ensure that the date formats in the JSON match the expected formats in SAP. Common formats include ISO 8601 (e.g., YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ).
  Review AIF Configuration: Check the AIF configuration settings to ensure that they are set up correctly to handle the incoming JSON data. This includes checking for any limits on payload sizes.
  Error Logging: Enable detailed logging in AIF to capture more information about the error. This can help identify the specific part of the JSON that is causing the issue.
  Test with Smaller Payloads: If you suspect that the payload size is an issue, try sending a smaller JSON payload to see if it processes correctly.
