Hello,

• If there are more than one entitlements associated with an asset, only the latest one will populate?

                             ---Yes ,the latest updated entitlement need to populate if more than one entitlements available . 

• Start and End dates are fields on the entitlement and contract table. If you already have the entitlement with all details, why do we need to enforce past and future? 

                     here we are checking the entitlement start date <=current date and end date >=current date

Hope I answered your questions. Thanks.
