How To Fix EHSBM_AS003 - The new time interval is not a subset of the old interval

EHSBM_AS003 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EHSBM_AS - Messages for General Scope of Application

• Message number: 003

• Message text: The new time interval is not a subset of the old interval

What causes this issue?

When you overwrite the valid-from date, valid-to date, or change number
of a scope of application, the system creates a new scope of
application with the same usage for the validity period you entered.
The validity period of the existing scope of application is shortened
accordingly. This is only possible if the new validity period is
contained in the validity period of the existing scope of application.
However, the date you entered or the valid-from date of the change
number you entered is not within the validity period of the existing
scope of application. The system does not accept the dates and does not
create the new scope of application.

How to fix this error?

Enter the new scope of application in a new line.
