  Validate Values: Check that the date and time values are valid and within the acceptable range. For instance, ensure that the date is not in the future if the system does not allow it.
  Handle Null Values: Make sure that the fields are not null or empty if they are required. If they are optional, ensure that the logic correctly handles cases where they are not provided.
  Timezone Handling: If the API requires timezone information, ensure that it is correctly formatted and recognized by the system.
  Debugging: Use transaction codes like SLG1 to check application logs for more detailed error messages that can provide additional context.
