  Data Review: Check the planning book or data source for the entries that are causing the issue. Identify rows with blank or zero offset values.
  Data Correction: 
  
  If the rows are supposed to have valid offset values, update them with the correct values.
  If the rows are not needed, you can allow the system to delete them as indicated by the error message.
  
  
  Validation Rules: Implement validation rules in your data entry processes to prevent the entry of blank or zero offset values in the future.
  Re-run the Process: After correcting the data, re-run the process that triggered the error to ensure that it completes successfully.
