  Correct Dates: Verify that the start and end dates for the option are correctly defined. Ensure that the expiration date is in the future relative to the current date.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the option pricing model in SAP. Ensure that all necessary parameters are correctly set up and that the model is appropriate for the type of options being processed.
