The message typically means that there is an overlap in the intervals for the asset, where two or more intervals have the same start date, which is not allowed.

  Overlapping Intervals: The error occurs when you try to create or modify an asset and there are existing intervals that have the same start date. This can happen if:

  Check Existing Intervals:

  Modify or Delete Overlapping Intervals:
  
  If you find overlapping intervals, you will need to either modify the start date of the new interval you are trying to create or adjust the existing intervals to ensure that there are no overlaps.
  If an existing interval is no longer needed, consider deleting it.
  
  
  
  Data Validation: 
  
  Implement data validation checks to prevent the entry of overlapping intervals in the future. This can be done through user training or by implementing validation rules in the system.
