  Update Time Entries: If you are trying to enter time for a component that is no longer valid, you will need to update your time entries to reference a valid component.
  Consult with Configuration Team: If the component should still be valid, consult with your SAP configuration team to understand why it was deactivated or deleted. They may need to restore it or adjust the configuration.
  Review Validity Dates: Ensure that the dates associated with the components are correctly set up in the system. If necessary, adjust the validity dates to allow for the component to be used again.
