• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_DEFERMENT_BO029 - Time period for plan &1 and event &2 do not overlap ?

  The SAP error message GHO_DEFERMENT_BO029 indicates that there is a mismatch between the time period defined for a planning object (plan &1) and the event (event &2) you are trying to process. This typically occurs in scenarios involving planning and scheduling, where the time frames for different components do not align.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-Overlapping Time Periods: The time period for the planning object does not overlap with the time period of the event. This could happen if:
  
  The planning object is set for a different fiscal year or period than the event.
  The event is scheduled outside the valid time frame of the planning object.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the planning settings or event definitions that lead to this mismatch.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when defining the planning object or event can lead to incorrect time periods.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Time Periods: Verify the time periods for both the planning object and the event. Ensure that they overlap. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant planning object and checking its validity period.
  Checking the event's scheduled time frame.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Object or Event: If the time periods do not overlap, you may need to:
  
  Modify the planning object to extend its time frame to include the event.
  Reschedule the event to fall within the valid time frame of the planning object.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings for both the planning object and the event to ensure they are set up correctly.
