  Overlapping Value Ranges: You have defined multiple value ranges for a characteristic, and these ranges overlap. For example, if you have defined a range from 1 to 10 and another from 5 to 15, this will trigger the error.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of characteristics or values in the product master data may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts.

  Check for Duplicates:
  
  Ensure that there are no duplicate entries for the same characteristic that could be causing the overlap.
