This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a version of a business object (like a business partner, product, etc.) in SAP that overlaps with an existing version that already has data.
  Cause:

  Overlapping Validity Periods: You are attempting to create or change a version of an object that has a validity period that overlaps with an existing version that already has data.
  Data Integrity Constraints: SAP enforces data integrity rules to prevent inconsistencies, which means you cannot have two versions of the same object with overlapping validity periods.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Versions:
  
  Review the existing versions of the object in question to identify the validity periods. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or using the appropriate report to list the versions.
  
  
  
  Adjust Validity Period:
  
  If you need to create a new version, ensure that the validity period of the new version does not overlap with any existing versions. You may need to adjust the start and end dates of the new version accordingly.
