How to fix this error?

Look into the matter. This situation is probably due to a program error.
You should therefore contact your system administrator.
The delivery date of the schedule line (update from PO/delivery
schedule) is used as the update date.
In some cases, the update date is changed to the start or end date of
the arrangement validity period if the original date is not within the
arrangement validity period (e.g. as a result of an input error).
In the case of arrangements settled periodically, if the update date
falls in a period for which settlement accounting has already been
performed, business volumes are assigned to the next period for which
settlement accounting is due. The update date is changed accordingly.
This procedure ensures real time inclusion of business volumes during
subsequent settlement.
