  Solution:
  
  Check Validity Dates: Review the validity dates of the device and register in the SAP system. Ensure that the time slice you are processing falls within the valid period.
  Adjust Time Slice: If the time slice is incorrect, adjust it to ensure it aligns with the validity period of the device/register.
  Prorate Data: If you need to process data beyond the validity period, consider prorating the data for the time slice based on the valid period of the device/register.
  Update Device/Registers: If the device or register needs to be valid for a longer period, update the validity dates in the master data accordingly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on handling this error in your version of SAP.
