  Adjust Dates: If you find that the validity date is incorrect, adjust it to a date that is greater than the reference date.
  
  
  Review Dependencies: If the record you are trying to update has dependencies or related records, ensure that those records do not have conflicting validity dates.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the validity date requirements for a specific object, consult the relevant SAP documentation or help resources.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the import or update process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
