  The SAP error message OIUCA079 indicates that there is a conflict between the requested delivery date and the validity period of a contract. Specifically, the requested delivery date is earlier than the "Valid From" date of the contract, which means that the contract is not active or valid for the requested delivery date.

  Adjust Delivery Date: If the requested delivery date is incorrect, change it to a date that is on or after the contract's "Valid From" date.
  Update Contract: If the delivery date is correct and you need to deliver earlier, consider updating the contract to extend its validity or create a new contract that covers the required delivery date.
  Consult with Stakeholders: If you are unsure about the validity of the contract or the delivery date, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., contract managers, procurement team) to clarify the situation.
