How can I fix effective date errors during an import?

You need to make sure that the effective dates for the child benefit objects fall within the effective dates of the parent object. This applies to objects in both the source and destination environments.

For example, suppose you import this configuration:

Benefit Object	Effective Start Date	Effective End Date
Program A	January 1, 2020	December 31, 2025
Plan A	January 1, 2020	December 31, 2025
Plan B	January 1, 2020	December 31, 2025

Subsequently, in the source environment, if you change the effective end date of Plan A to April 2026, the import won't succeed because the program in the destination environment ends earlier, on December 31, 2025. To resolve this, you need to change the effective date of the plan in the destination environment to the same date as of the source environment.
