  Error Message
  WTADDI207: Usage date for additionals IDoc data is in the past
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during the processing of an IDoc related to time data (usually in the context of SAP HR Time Management or Payroll). The system checks the usage date (or validity date) of additional data records being posted or updated via the IDoc.
  
  The usage date provided in the IDoc is earlier than the current system date or earlier than the allowed validity period.
  The system does not allow posting or updating additional time data with a usage date that is in the past relative to the current or expected date range.
  This is a consistency check to prevent back-dated or outdated data from being processed incorrectly.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When time data or additional infotype data is sent via IDoc (e.g., from an external system or a time recording device).
  When the usage date field in the IDoc segment is set incorrectly or outdated.
  When the system expects only current or future dated data for certain infotypes or time data.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Usage Date in the IDoc:
  
  Review the IDoc segments related to additional data (e.g., segment E2xxxx depending on the infotype).
  Verify the usage date or validity date fields.
  Ensure the date is not in the past relative to the system date or the expected date range.
  
  
  
  Correct the Date in the Source System:
  
  If the IDoc is generated from an external system, correct the date there before sending.
  Make sure the time recording or payroll system sends valid dates.
  
  
  
  Adjust the System Date or Validity Period (if applicable):
  
  If the system date is incorrect or the validity period settings are too restrictive, consult with your SAP Basis or HR team.
  However, changing system date is generally not recommended.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the IDoc:
  
  After correcting the date, reprocess the IDoc.
  Use transaction WE02 or WE19 to test and reprocess the IDoc.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing and User Exits:
  
  Sometimes, custom validations or user exits might enforce stricter date checks.
  Review any custom code related to time data IDoc processing.
