  Cause:
  This error message indicates that there is an existing benefit eligibility record for the employee that has a "Valid To" date set to a future date (i.e., &1 represents that date).

  Modify Validity Dates: If the existing record is indeed valid and you need to make changes, you may need to:
  
  Change the "Valid To" date of the existing record to a date before the current date or the date you want to update.
  Alternatively, you can create a new record with a new validity period if the changes are necessary for future benefits.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR/Benefits Administrator: If you are unsure about modifying existing records, consult with your HR or benefits administrator to ensure that the changes comply with company policies and regulations.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes (like PA30 for maintaining HR master data) to view and edit the benefit eligibility records.
  
  
  Check for Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to benefit eligibility records. Lack of proper permissions can also lead to issues when trying to update records.
