5Z090 - Details

• The SAP error message 5Z090 indicates that there is a gap or overlap in the periods defined for a specific configuration, typically related to time-based data such as planning, budgeting, or scheduling. This error often arises in scenarios where time periods are defined for activities, cost centers, or other entities, and the system detects that the defined periods do not align correctly.
  
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Periods: Two or more periods are defined in such a way that they overlap, meaning that the same time frame is being used for multiple entries.
  Gaps Between Periods: There are defined periods that do not connect, leaving a gap where no period is defined.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the periods may not have been set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when defining periods can lead to overlaps or gaps.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Period Definitions: Check the periods defined in the relevant configuration (e.g., planning, budgeting)
