  The SAP error message CRM_BUPA_BOL032 indicates that there is an issue with the scheduling of a realignment process in the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Specifically, the error states that the start time for the realignment must be set to a future date and time.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  The user attempts to schedule a realignment process with a start time that is either in the past or set to the current time.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Scheduled Time: Review the start time you have set for the realignment process. Ensure that it is set to a future date and time.
