- Cost element interval & overlaps & ?The SAP error message "F=221 Cost element interval & overlaps &" typically indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of cost elements in the system. This error arises when there are overlapping intervals for cost elements, which can lead to inconsistencies in financial reporting and cost accounting.
Cause: Overlapping Intervals: The primary cause of this error is that two or more cost elements have been defined with overlapping validity periods. For example, if Cost Element A is valid from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and Cost Element B is also defined for a period that overlaps with this range, the system will throw this error.
