  Check Date/Time Format: Ensure that the date and time are formatted correctly according to SAP's requirements. Adjust the format in your upload file if necessary.

  Review Upload Data: Check the upload file for any missing or incorrectly populated fields. Make sure that all required fields are filled out correctly.
  Time Zone Configuration: If applicable, verify that the time zone settings in your SAP system are correctly configured and that the date/time values are being interpreted correctly.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like /SCMTMS/UPLOAD to re-upload the data after making corrections.
