• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_SUB_MLI007 - Enter ratings without overlaps (validity area: &1) ?

  The SAP error message CM_SUB_MLI007, which states "Enter ratings without overlaps (validity area: &1)," typically occurs in the context of managing master data, particularly when dealing with validity periods for ratings or classifications in SAP.
  Cause:
  This error arises when there are overlapping validity periods for the ratings you are trying to enter. In SAP, each rating or classification must have a distinct validity period that does not overlap with any other existing ratings for the same object. Overlapping validity periods can lead to ambiguity in data interpretation and processing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check Existing Ratings: Review the existing ratings or classifications for the specified validity area (indicated by &1 in the error message). Look for any entries that have overlapping validity periods.
  
  
  Adjust Validity Periods: Modify the validity periods of the existing ratings or the new rating you are trying to enter. Ensure that there are no overlaps. You can do this by:
  
  Changing the start or end dates of the existing ratings.
  Deleting or archiving any unnecessary ratings that may be causing the overlap.
  
  
  
  Data Entry: When entering new ratings, ensure that the validity period you are specifying does not conflict with any existing entries. Use clear start and end dates that do not overlap with other ratings.
  
  
  Validation: After making adjustments, re-enter the ratings and validate to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using transaction codes like CMM1 (for creating master data) or CMM2 (for changing master data) in the context of classification management.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed guidelines on managing ratings and classifications, including best practices for defining validity periods.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking for overlaps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP community for further assistance.
