  Review Data Upload File: If you are uploading data, ensure that the file includes the validity period fields and that they are populated correctly. Make sure the format of the dates is compatible with SAP.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for data entry or upload.
