  Overlapping Validity Periods: The charge you are trying to create has a validity period that overlaps with an existing charge.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Existing Charges: Review the existing charges in the system to identify any that may overlap with the new charge you are trying to create. You can do this by checking the validity periods and charge types.

  Remove Duplicate Charges: If the charge you are trying to create is indeed a duplicate, you may need to either modify the existing charge or remove it if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings: If you suspect that the issue may be related to configuration settings, consult with your SAP administrator or a consultant to review the charge management configuration.
