  Correct Date Format: Ensure that the date is entered in the correct format as per the system's regional settings. This may involve changing the date format in your user profile settings.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the fiscal year settings or the validity of the date, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with internal policies.
