Hi,

this means you are dealing with the date-effective tables https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/dev-tools/date-effectivity#write-activities

and therefore you must specify following line before the update

YourTableObject.validTimeStateUpdateMode(ValidTimeStateUpdate::Correction);

Hi,

The solution line provided by Sohaib is useful to solve your error. Use ttsBEgin and ttscommit at starting and ending of the update code to ensure data integrity.
