  Check Existing Records: Review the existing records in the system that have validity periods. Identify any records that have overlapping dates with the record you are trying to create or modify.
  Adjust Validity Periods: Modify the start and end dates of the new record or the existing records to ensure that there are no overlaps. Ensure that the validity periods are distinct and do not intersect.
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks before creating or modifying records to prevent overlaps from occurring in the first place.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources specific to the module you are working with (e.g., Financial Accounting, Controlling) for additional guidance on managing validity periods.
