• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /EACC/MSG_ABSTR_JRNL028 - Two derivation requests for target characteristic &1 overlap one another ?

  The SAP error message /EACC/MSG_ABSTR_JRNL028 indicates that there are two derivation requests for a target characteristic that overlap, which means that the system has detected conflicting or redundant derivation rules for the same characteristic. This can occur in the context of data derivation processes, such as in SAP's Advanced Compliance Reporting or other data management scenarios.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Derivation Rules: The most common cause of this error is that there are multiple derivation requests defined for the same target characteristic, and these requests have overlapping conditions or ranges.
  Incorrect Configuration: The derivation rules may not have been configured correctly, leading to conflicts in the logic.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model or the underlying data structure may have introduced conflicts in the derivation requests.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Derivation Requests: Check the derivation requests for the target characteristic specified in the error message. Look for overlapping conditions or ranges that may be causing the conflict.
  Consolidate Rules: If you find multiple derivation requests that serve the same purpose, consider consolidating them into a single request that covers all necessary conditions without overlap.
  Adjust Conditions: Modify the conditions of the derivation requests to ensure that they do not overlap. This may involve changing the ranges or criteria used in the derivation logic.
  Testing: After making changes, test the derivation requests to ensure that they work as expected and do not produce any further conflicts.
  Documentation: Document the changes made to the derivation rules for future reference and to help prevent similar issues from arising.
  
  Related Information:
