• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/TSDB270 - Record with same effective and validity period exists ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/TSDB270 Record with same effective and validity period exists typically occurs in the context of the SAP General Ledger or Asset Accounting modules. This error indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a record (such as a transaction or master data) that overlaps with an existing record that has the same effective date and validity period.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Records: The most common cause is that there is already a record in the system with the same effective date and validity period. This can happen if:
  
  A user is trying to create a new record that is identical to an existing one.
  A record was inadvertently created twice.
  There is a data migration or upload process that has resulted in duplicate entries.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, configuration settings in the system may lead to this error if they are not set up correctly to handle overlapping periods.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to check the relevant database tables for existing records that match the effective date and validity period you are trying to enter.
  Identify and review the existing records to determine if they are indeed duplicates.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Duplicates: 
  
  If you find a duplicate record that is not needed, you can delete or modify it to resolve the conflict.
  If the existing record is valid and should remain, you will need to adjust the new record's effective date or validity period to avoid the overlap.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Checks: 
  
  If this error arises during a data migration process, ensure that the data being uploaded does not contain duplicates. Implement checks or validations before the upload.
