  Adjust the Times: If necessary, adjust the cut-off time to be before the departure time. This may involve:
  
  Changing the cut-off time in the transportation document.
  Adjusting the departure time if it is flexible and can be moved later.
  
  
  Validate Changes: After making adjustments, validate the changes to ensure that the error no longer appears.
  Re-upload or Reprocess: If the error occurred during a data upload, you may need to re-upload the data after making the necessary corrections.
