• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAA_MD119 - Segment is not unique (&1/&2) in the time interval ending on date &3 ?

  The SAP error message FAA_MD119 indicates that there is a problem with the uniqueness of segments in the asset accounting module, specifically related to the asset master data. This error typically arises when there are multiple segments (or records) for the same asset that overlap in the specified time interval, which is not allowed in the system.
  Cause:
  The error message FAA_MD119 is triggered when:
  
  There are multiple segments for the same asset that have overlapping validity periods.
  The system expects each asset to have unique segments for the specified time frame, but it finds duplicates.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Duplicate Segments:
  
  Use transaction codes like AS03 (Display Asset) or AW01N (Asset Explorer) to check the asset in question.
  Look for segments that have overlapping validity periods.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Segments:
  
  If you find overlapping segments, you will need to either delete or adjust the validity periods of the segments to ensure that each segment is unique within the specified time frame.
  You can do this using transaction AS02 (Change Asset) to modify the segments.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  After making changes, ensure that the asset data is consistent and that there are no other overlapping segments.
  You can run reports or use transaction S_ALR_87011963 (Asset History Sheet) to verify the changes.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Transaction:
  
  Once the segments are corrected, try to reprocess the transaction that initially triggered the error.
