How to submit WO product completion transaction with a date eariler than material creation date?

We use REST API to submit the work order product completion transactions. But if we create a product completion transaction with a date eariler than the material creation date, the interface error out with 'The value provided for the lnventory ltem Revision attribute is invalid' though we are not specifying the item revision.

If we submit the same material transaction on UI, it passed with no issue, so presumably the system is fine with such transactions. So what would be the reason for this error in REST API?

See payload we use as below.
