• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHHSS_INC_COMMON143 - &1 overlaps with another &1 of the same type ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHHSS_INC_COMMON143 indicates that there is a conflict due to overlapping entries of the same type in the system. This typically occurs in the context of managing health and safety incidents, where two or more entries are trying to reference the same time period or resource, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Time Periods: The most common cause is that two incidents or entries have been created that overlap in their time frames. For example, if one incident is recorded from January 1 to January 5, and another is recorded from January 3 to January 7, this will trigger the error.
  Duplicate Entries: There may be duplicate entries for the same resource or incident type that are not allowed by the system's validation rules.
  Incorrect Data Entry: Manual data entry errors can lead to overlapping records being created unintentionally.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Existing Entries: Check the existing entries for the same type and time period. You can do this by querying the database or using the relevant transaction codes in SAP to list incidents.
  Adjust Time Periods: If you find overlapping entries, you will need to adjust the time periods of one or both entries to ensure they do not overlap. This may involve changing the start or end dates.
  Delete or Archive Duplicates: If there are duplicate entries, consider deleting or archiving the unnecessary ones to resolve the conflict.
  Validation Rules: Review the validation rules in your SAP configuration to ensure they are set up correctly to prevent future overlaps.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as IW21 (Create Notification), IW22 (Change Notification), or any specific transaction related to health and safety management in your SAP system.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional guidance or patches that may address the issue.
  Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with (e.g., EHS - Environment, Health, and Safety) to understand how to manage incidents and avoid overlaps.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who can provide deeper insights into the system configuration and data integrity.
