  Adjust Dates: If the decision date is indeed valid, consider adjusting the end date of the infotype record to accommodate the decision date. This may involve extending the validity of the infotype record.
  Correct Data Entry: If the decision date was entered incorrectly, correct it to a date that is within the valid range of the infotype.
  Consult with HR: If you are unsure about the correct dates or the implications of changing them, consult with your HR department or the person responsible for maintaining employee records.
  Review Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the configuration of the infotype to ensure it meets the business requirements.
