• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_ATTRFRG_GEN002 - Value &1 exists twice or the intervals overlap ?

  The SAP error message COM_ATTRFRG_GEN002 indicates that there is a problem with the configuration of attribute fragments in the SAP system. Specifically, it means that a value (or interval) for an attribute is defined more than once, or that the defined intervals overlap, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Values: The same value for an attribute is being assigned to multiple entries in the configuration.
  Overlapping Intervals: If you are using intervals (e.g., ranges of values), two or more intervals may overlap, which creates ambiguity in how the system should interpret the data.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a mistake in the way the attribute fragments are set up, leading to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Duplicates: Review the configuration for the attribute in question and ensure that no value is assigned more than once. If duplicates are found, remove or consolidate them.
  Review Intervals: If you are using intervals, check to ensure that they do not overlap. Adjust the intervals so that each one is distinct and does not conflict with others.
  Data Validation: Validate the data entries to ensure that they conform to the expected format and do not violate any constraints.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like COMMPR01 (for product master) or COMMPR02 (for product master with attributes) to review and edit the attribute settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on setting up attribute fragments correctly.
