  The SAP error message CRM_IU_IC_ADRMGT011 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a standard address in the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, but a valid address already exists for the specified date. This error typically arises when there is an overlap in the validity periods of addresses.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to create a new address or modify an existing one, but there is already a standard address with a "valid-from" date that overlaps with the date you are trying to set.
  The system enforces rules to prevent multiple addresses from being valid at the same time for the same entity (e.g., a customer or business partner).
  
  Solution:

  Check Existing Addresses:

  Modify Validity Dates:
  
  If you find an existing address with overlapping validity dates, you may need to adjust the "valid-from" or "valid-to" dates of the existing address to eliminate the overlap.
  Ensure that the new address you are trying to create or modify does not conflict with existing addresses.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive Old Addresses:
  
  If the existing address is no longer needed, consider deleting or archiving it, provided that it does not violate any business rules or data retention policies.
