  Adjust the Key Date: If the key date is indeed in the future, change it to a valid date that is in the past. This will allow the archiving process to proceed.
  
  
  Review Archiving Policies: Ensure that your archiving policies and procedures are correctly set up. This includes understanding the retention periods for the data you are trying to archive.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct key date or archiving procedures, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for guidance.
  
  
  Test the Archiving Process: After adjusting the key date, test the archiving process again to ensure that it completes successfully without errors.
