• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CPD/PWS_RATECARD063 - Overlapping records were suppressed ?

  The SAP error message /CPD/PWS_RATECARD063 indicating "Overlapping records were suppressed" typically occurs in the context of rate card processing within SAP Convergent Charging (SAP CC). This error suggests that there are overlapping time intervals or conditions in the rate card configuration that prevent the system from processing the records correctly.
  Cause:
  
  
  Overlapping Time Intervals: The most common cause is that two or more rate card entries have overlapping validity periods. For example, if one rate card is valid from January 1 to January 31 and another is valid from January 15 to February 15, the system will suppress one of these entries to avoid ambiguity.
  
  
  Conflicting Conditions: There may be conflicting conditions or criteria defined in the rate card that lead to overlaps in how the charges are applied.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: Misconfiguration in the rate card setup, such as incorrect date ranges or conditions, can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Rate Card Entries: Check the rate card entries for overlapping time periods. Ensure that each entry has a distinct validity period without overlaps.
  
  
  Adjust Validity Periods: Modify the validity periods of the rate card entries to ensure they do not overlap. This may involve changing start and end dates or adjusting conditions.
  
  
  Check Conditions: Review the conditions defined in the rate card. Ensure that they are mutually exclusive and do not conflict with each other.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the rate card processing again to ensure that the error does not occur.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines for best practices in configuring rate cards to avoid such issues in the future.
