  Adjusting the dates to ensure they do not overlap.
  Ensuring that the dates are in the correct format and logical sequence.
  
  
  
  Data Validation: Before re-uploading or processing the data, validate it to ensure that there are no duplicate "Valid From" dates.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the upload or processing again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the requirements for "Valid From" dates in your specific context, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant.
