How to fix this error?

Change the key date.
If you want to archive documents whose period of validity extends into
the future - which would be possible in the course of material
discontinuation, for example - you have to cancel or delete the pricing
document items beforehand. Once you have canceled an item, you can
archive it irrespective of the date. Deleted items are always archived,
no matter what the date.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR521 - The key date for archiving cannot be a future date ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WR521 - The key date for archiving cannot be a future date
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to set a key date (also called the archiving date) for an archiving session that is in the future relative to the current system date. SAP requires the key date to be either the current date or a date in the past because archiving logically deals with data that already exists and is no longer current.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The key date in archiving defines the cutoff date for the data to be archived.
  Data with dates up to and including the key date will be considered for archiving.
  Setting a future date is not allowed because it implies archiving data that does not yet exist or is not yet finalized.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Set the key date to today’s date or a date in the past.
  Check the system date (transaction /nSM04 or /nST22 for dumps) to ensure it is correct.
