  Error Message:
  WRF_APC319 &3 for purchasing list item &1 &2 is in the past
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or process a purchasing list item with a validity date (or a related date such as delivery date, start date, or end date) that is in the past relative to the current system date or the relevant reference date.
  In SAP, purchasing list items (such as source lists or scheduling agreements) have validity periods to control when they are active. If the system detects that the date you entered is before the current date or before the allowed date range, it throws this error to prevent inconsistent or invalid data.
  Typical causes:
  
  The validity start date or delivery date for the purchasing list item is set to a date that has already passed.
  The system date is ahead of the date entered in the purchasing list item.
  Incorrect date entry or misunderstanding of the date fields.
  Data migration or manual entry with outdated dates.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the dates entered:
  
  Verify the validity start and end dates for the purchasing list item.
  Ensure that the start date is not before the current date or the relevant reference date.
  
  
  
  Adjust the dates:
  
  Change the validity start date or delivery date to a current or future date.
  If the item is supposed to be valid in the past, consider whether the business process allows backdating or if a different document type or process should be used.
  
  
  
  Check system date and settings:
  
  Confirm the system date (transaction /nSCM or system status).
  If the system date is incorrect, coordinate with your Basis team to correct it.
  
  
  
  Review related configuration:
  
  Check if there are any custom validations or user exits that enforce date checks.
  Review the source list or purchasing info record validity settings.
  
  
  
  If data migration:
  
  Ensure that historical data is handled properly, possibly by adjusting the system date temporarily or using special migration tools.
