• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_FC_RESULT020 - Network &1 not overlapping with Project &2 Eff Dates ?

  The SAP error message GHO_FC_RESULT020 indicates that there is a mismatch between the effective dates of a network and the project it is associated with. Specifically, the error states that the network (identified by &1) does not overlap with the effective dates of the project (identified by &2). This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in project management and network planning.
  Cause:
  
  
  Date Mismatch: The effective start and end dates of the network do not fall within the effective dates of the project. This can happen if:
  
  The network was created with dates that are outside the project’s date range.
  The project dates were changed after the network was created, leading to a situation where the network is no longer valid for the project.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the project or network settings that lead to this inconsistency.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the creation or modification of the project or network can lead to this issue.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Effective Dates:
  
  Review the effective dates of both the network and the project. Ensure that the network's start and end dates fall within the project’s effective date range.
  If necessary, adjust the dates of the network or the project to ensure they overlap.
  
  
  
  Modify Network or Project:
  
  If the network is valid and should be associated with the project, modify the network's effective dates to align with the project.
  Alternatively, if the project dates need to be adjusted, do so to accommodate the network.
  
  
  
  Recreate Network:
  
  If the network is not valid for the project and cannot be adjusted, consider creating a new network with the correct dates that align with the project.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing networks and projects to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, check the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that there are no underlying issues causing the date mismatch.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on this error message.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify project and network details in the SAP system.
