I am a travel agent and I or should I say my clients have experienced this situation with Emirates only. I enter the GOES (known traveler) number in the Sabre system but it is not acknowledged. I was advised by two Emirates agents, including my company's dedicated representative that we have to call Emirates directly with the passenger GOES issuance date, city/state issuance, expiration date and passenger place of birth. I agree that this is absurd but we are being held captive by their rules.

According to this thread on flyertalk from last year, you can enter your KTN at online check-in. There is also a report of someone being asked for the KTN issue date on that thread. That user (aradisc) supplied the info and then subsequently reported entering the KTN at OLCI, so I suspect that it may not work trying to do this in advance. Since the issue date is not needed, you could just make one up if you want to try it in advance.
