  Review Consumption Factors: Check the configuration of consumption factors in the relevant module (e.g., Energy Data Management). Ensure that there are no overlapping periods for the consumption factors.

  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks to prevent the entry of overlapping consumption factors in the future.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources specific to your version of SAP for detailed instructions on managing consumption factors.
