Employee Salary Load API Error

Question

Hi All,
I'm working on R12 ERP system, i have employee salary data file (including history data) to be loaded into R12 system.I have problem loading, getting error 'ORA-2000, element is not effective in PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F' table, but i have element entry in the required effective date range, then i processed the one employee salary data among error record , then it was processed without any issue; i processed individually 3 to 4 error records, everything was successful; if i run the bulk of employees, i don't know why it's giving this error.....could somebody please help me at the earliest. Is this because if any element entries are created manually, what could be possible reasons.....

Found out the issue was with p_change_date where one needs to convert actual date string using to_date instead of using SYSDATE...Never use SYSDATE to test ...use an actual date.
