• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FITVPS223 - Overlap with & from & to & ?

  The SAP error message FITVPS223 indicates that there is an overlap in the validity periods of certain data entries, typically related to master data such as vendor master records, customer master records, or other time-dependent data. The message usually specifies that the validity period of the new entry overlaps with an existing entry.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to create or modify a record that has a validity period that conflicts with an existing record. For example, if you are trying to enter a new validity period from date A to date B, and there is already an existing record with a validity period that overlaps with this range, SAP will raise this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the FITVPS223 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the existing records in the system to identify the overlapping validity periods. You can do this by querying the relevant master data table or using transaction codes like SE16 or SE11.
  
  
  Adjust Validity Periods: If you find that the existing record's validity period overlaps with the new entry, you will need to either:
  
  Change the validity period of the new entry to avoid the overlap.
  Modify the existing record to adjust its validity period so that it no longer overlaps with the new entry.
  Delete the existing record if it is no longer needed (ensure this is compliant with your data governance policies).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the validity periods or the implications of changing them, consult your organization's documentation or reach out to a colleague who is knowledgeable about the data management policies.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, try to save the record again to see if the error persists.
