This error typically occurs in the context of logistics and transportation management, particularly when dealing with shipping and compliance with regulations regarding the declaration of cargo weight.
  Cause:
  
  Expired Cut-off Date/Time: The VGM cut-off date/time has passed, meaning that the system expects the VGM data to be submitted by a certain deadline, which has not been met.
  Incomplete VGM Data: The required VGM data for the item in question has not been fully entered or is missing. This could be due to user oversight or system errors.
  Regulatory Compliance: The error may also arise from compliance requirements that mandate the submission of VGM data before shipping.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check VGM Cut-off Date/Time: Review the cut-off date/time settings in the system. If the cut-off has indeed passed, you may need to take corrective actions to either expedite the VGM submission or adjust the cut-off settings if permissible.
  Complete VGM Data: Ensure that all required VGM data for the item is entered correctly. This includes verifying that the gross mass of the cargo is accurately recorded and that all necessary documentation is complete.
  Re-submit VGM Data: If the VGM data was incomplete, complete it and attempt to re-submit the VGM information for the item.
  Consult with Logistics Team: If you are unsure about the VGM requirements or how to proceed, consult with your logistics or compliance team to ensure that all regulations are being followed.
  System Configuration: If this issue is recurring, it may be worth reviewing the system configuration related to VGM processing to ensure it aligns with your operational needs.

  User Training: Ensure that users involved in the logistics and shipping processes are adequately trained on the importance of VGM data and the implications of cut-off times.
