  The SAP error message B0058 ("Relationship & may only be assigned & times within the same time period") typically occurs in the context of project management or when dealing with relationships between tasks or activities in SAP Project System (PS) or similar modules. This error indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of relationships between activities or tasks that are not aligned in terms of their time periods.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Overlapping Time Periods: The activities or tasks you are trying to relate have overlapping time periods that are not compatible with the relationship type you are trying to establish.
  Incorrect Dates: The start and finish dates of the tasks may not be set correctly, leading to conflicts when trying to establish relationships.

  Solution:
  To resolve the B0058 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Activity Dates: Review the start and finish dates of the activities involved in the relationship. Ensure that they are set correctly and do not overlap in a way that violates the relationship rules.

  Review Relationship Type: Ensure that the relationship type you are trying to establish is appropriate for the activities involved. For example, if you are trying to create a Finish-to-Start relationship, make sure that the predecessor activity finishes before the successor activity starts.
  
  
  Use the Project Planning Board: If you are using the Project Planning Board, you can visually inspect the relationships and adjust them as necessary.
