  Cause:
  
  Effectivity Date Mismatch: The object you are trying to link has effectivity dates that do not align with the effectivity dates of the document.

  Solution:
  
  Check Effectivity Dates: Review the effectivity dates of both the object and the document. Ensure that they match and are set correctly.
  Update Links: If the object is no longer valid for the document, consider unlinking it and linking the correct object that matches the effectivity criteria.
  Review Change Logs: Check the change logs for both the document and the object to identify any recent changes that may have caused the mismatch.
  Correct Configuration: If the issue is due to configuration settings, work with your SAP administrator to ensure that the effectivity settings are correctly configured.
