  The SAP error message /SCTM/TMMD_UI030 Validity [&1,&2] lies in the past typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you are trying to create or modify a transportation-related object (like a transportation request, shipment, etc.) and the validity period specified for that object is in the past. This means that the start date or time you are trying to set for the object is earlier than the current date and time.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Dates: The most common cause is that the dates you are entering for the validity period (start date and/or end date) are set to a time that has already passed.
  System Date: The system date might be set incorrectly, leading to confusion about what constitutes "the past."
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a simple mistake in entering the dates, such as a typo or misunderstanding of the date format.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dates: Review the validity dates you are entering. Ensure that the start date is set to the current date or a future date.
  Adjust Time: If you are specifying a time along with the date, ensure that the time is also in the future relative to the current system time.
  System Date Verification: Check the system date and time settings to ensure they are correct. If the system date is incorrect, it may need to be adjusted by a system administrator.
  Re-enter Data: If you find that the dates were entered incorrectly, re-enter the correct dates and try again.
