  The SAP error message FG009, which states "Overlap with interval & to &," typically occurs in the context of managing production orders, scheduling, or capacity planning. This error indicates that there is a conflict with the time intervals defined for a particular operation, resource, or production order. Specifically, it suggests that the time intervals for two or more operations overlap, which is not allowed in the scheduling process.
  Causes:
  
  Overlapping Time Intervals: The most common cause is that two operations or orders are scheduled to occur at the same time on the same resource or work center.
  Incorrect Scheduling: If the scheduling parameters or settings are not configured correctly, it can lead to overlaps.
  Resource Allocation Issues: If multiple orders are assigned to the same resource without proper staggering, overlaps can occur.
  Changes in Production Orders: Modifications to existing orders (like rescheduling) can inadvertently create overlaps with other orders.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review Scheduling: Check the scheduling of the operations or production orders involved. Ensure that the time intervals do not overlap.
  Adjust Time Intervals: Modify the start and end times of the conflicting operations to eliminate the overlap.
  Resource Planning: Ensure that resources are allocated properly and that no two operations are scheduled on the same resource at the same time.
  Use Capacity Planning Tools: Utilize SAP's capacity planning tools to visualize and manage resource allocation effectively.
  Check for Errors in Order Creation: If the error occurs during order creation, review the order details for any incorrect time settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on scheduling and capacity planning.
