  The SAP error message FC154 "Overlap: First delete interval & to &" typically occurs in the context of financial accounting, particularly when dealing with master data or transaction data that involves overlapping date ranges. This error indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a record that conflicts with an existing record due to overlapping date intervals.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by trying to enter a new interval (date range) that overlaps with an existing interval in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  When trying to create a new asset master record with a date range that overlaps with an existing asset.
  When modifying a financial document or master data that has date ranges that conflict with existing entries.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FC154 error, you need to take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Overlapping Records:
  
  Check the existing records in the system that have date ranges overlapping with the one you are trying to create or modify. You can do this by reviewing the relevant tables or using transaction codes that allow you to view the data.
  
  
  
  Delete or Adjust the Existing Interval:
  
  If the existing record is no longer needed, you can delete it. Make sure to follow your organization's data management policies before deletion.
  If the existing record is still needed, consider adjusting its date range to eliminate the overlap. This may involve changing the start or end dates of the existing record.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Operation:
  
  After resolving the overlap by either deleting or adjusting the existing record, you can re-attempt the operation that triggered the error.
