• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CPD/PWS_RATECARD084 - &1 records not copied on account of overlapping dates ?

  The SAP error message /CPD/PWS_RATECARD084 &1 records not copied on account of overlapping dates typically occurs in the context of managing rate cards or pricing records within the SAP system. This error indicates that there are records that cannot be copied or processed because their validity periods overlap with existing records.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system has detected overlapping date ranges for the records you are trying to copy. In SAP, each record (such as a rate card) has a defined validity period (start date and end date). If you attempt to copy a record that has a date range that overlaps with an existing record, the system will prevent this action to maintain data integrity and avoid conflicts.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the existing records in the system to identify the date ranges that are causing the overlap. You can do this by querying the relevant tables or using transaction codes that allow you to view rate cards or pricing records.
  
  
  Adjust Date Ranges: If you find overlapping records, you can either:
  
  Modify the existing records to change their validity periods so that they do not overlap with the new records you are trying to copy.
  Change the date ranges of the records you are trying to copy to ensure they do not conflict with existing records.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive Old Records: If the overlapping records are no longer needed, consider deleting or archiving them to free up the date ranges for new entries.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources specific to your version of SAP for additional guidance on managing rate cards and handling date overlaps.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, attempt to copy the records again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE16 (Data Browser), or specific transaction codes related to rate card management.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify or delete records in the system.
  Consult with Colleagues: If you are unsure about which records are safe to modify or delete, consult with colleagues or a supervisor who has experience with the rate card management process.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully copy the records without encountering overlapping date issues.
