Alternate Posting Date for Business Tansaction for Accounting of Goods and Activity Confirmation XX, version Y must be After Proposed Posting Date.

The reason of that is due to the fact that in order to change the date, a new document flow will create a new outbound delivery that will have as a creation date the current date. And as the delivery cannot be set in the past, it will block your intent on planning it on the date to be changed

The feasibility of changing the posting date of the Goods and Activity Confirmation, and unfortunately, it this case it cannot be changed anymore. No other workarounds possible at the moment
