This error often arises during data conversion or when processing data that involves date fields.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Date Format: The date entered in the field does not conform to the expected format (e.g., DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY, etc.).
  Out of Range Dates: The date might be outside the acceptable range defined in the system (e.g., a date in the future or a date that is too far in the past).
  Incorrect Data Type: The field may expect a date type, but a different data type (like a string or number) is being provided.

  Localization Settings: If the system is configured for a specific locale, ensure that the date format being used is compatible with that locale.
