Message text: Overlap with dimension & is not permitted
You have changed the exponents for a dimension. These changes overlap
the exponents of dimension &V1&. Each combination of exponents must be
unique and reflects a physical dimension.
Examples:
All units of length are based on a dimension with a 1 in the exponent
length. The basis unit (SI unit) is Meter.
All units of time are based on a dimension with a 1 in the exponent
time. The basis unit (SI unit) is second.
Units of velocity are based on a dimension with a 1 in the exponent
length and a -1 in the exponent time. The basis unit (SI unit) is
Meter/second.
All dimensions required can be derived from these seven basis
dimensions(exponents).
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
Make the appropriate corrections to your entries.

For instance, if you have defined a dimension that does not allow overlapping entries, and you attempt to enter data that conflicts with existing data in that dimension. Incorrect Configuration: Sometimes, the configuration of the planning model or
