SAP Error Message - Details

• Message number: 454

What causes this issue?

According to the mapping table, you want to merge the cost elements
<(>&<)>V1& and <(>&<)>V2& in controlling area <(>&<)>V3
& into a cost element called <(>&<)>V4&. Due to the validity
periods, which are different for the two original cost elements,
overlaps may occur.
Depending on the settings in the mapping table maintenance (priority
indicator), changes in the start end end dates of the cost element as
well as overlaps of the validity periods for the still existing validity
intervals for a cost element may occur.
The system resolves these inconsistencies in the activity <ZK>Adapt
Validity Dates for Cost Elements</> in the phase <ZK>Postprocessing
Programs During System Lock</> by processing all validity intervals that
exist for a cost element at this point in accordance with the following
rules:
The system looks at all validity intervals for a cost element starting
from the oldest interval (oldest valid-from date) and proceeding into
the future.
The valid-from date that lies furthest in the past <ZH>after</> the
conversion (CSKB-DATAB) is set to the valid-from date that lay furthest
in the past <ZH>before</> the conversion.
If the valid-from date of the next interval is smaller than the valid-to
date of the interval that is currently being processed, the valid-from
date of the next interval is set to the valid-to date of the interval
that is currently being processed (plus one day).
The valid-to date that lies furthest in the future <ZH>after</> the
conversion (CSKB-DATBI) is set to the valid-to date that lay furthest in
the future <ZH>before</> the conversion.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
