  Ensure Correct Dates: When entering a new validity period, double-check the start and end dates to ensure they do not conflict with existing entries.
  
  
  Version Management: If applicable, ensure that you are working with the correct version of the data. If you need to create a new version, make sure that the validity periods for the new version do not overlap with those of the existing versions.
