Answer

Please check for line items that have abnormal expiration dates in OPS_ENTITLEMENT_PRODUCT table, VALID_UNTIL column.

Look for dates that are either before or after entries in the TIME_DIMENSION table.

Make sure that all entitlements are with an expiry dates that are are set within time dimension range.
