  The SAP error message CM_EHHSS_HWRK_IMPORT008 typically indicates that there is a conflict with an existing record in the system. This error occurs when you are trying to import or create a new record that overlaps with an existing record identified by the location ID "&1". This can happen in various contexts, such as when dealing with health and safety records, work-related incidents, or other data entries that require unique identifiers.

  Overlapping Data: The new record you are trying to import has a date range or other attributes that overlap with an existing record in the system.
  Duplicate Entries: There may be an attempt to create a duplicate entry for a record that already exists.

  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the existing records associated with the location ID "&1" to identify the overlapping data. You can do this by querying the database or using the relevant SAP transaction codes.
  Adjust Date Ranges: If the new record has a date range, ensure that it does not overlap with the existing record. Modify the date range or other attributes of the new record to avoid conflicts.
  Delete or Modify Existing Records: If the existing record is no longer needed or can be modified, consider deleting or updating it to resolve the overlap.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling data imports and managing records in your particular module.
