  Adjust Ranges: Modify the new grouping or the existing ones to ensure that there are no overlaps. This may involve changing the start and end values of the ranges.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If this error occurs in a configuration setting (like pricing procedures), ensure that the configuration is set up correctly and that there are no conflicting entries.
  
  
  Use Unique Identifiers: If applicable, ensure that each grouping has a unique identifier or key that distinguishes it from others.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on how to define groupings correctly in the context you are working in.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
