This typically occurs when you are trying to enter or modify data in an infotype (such as infotype 0000 for Actions, infotype 0001 for Organizational Assignment, etc.) and the validity period you are trying to set overlaps with an existing record in the same infotype.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Validity Periods: The most common cause of this error is that the validity period you are trying to enter for a new record overlaps with an existing record in the same infotype.
  Incorrect Data Entry: Sometimes, the error can occur due to incorrect data entry, such as entering a start date that is before the end date of an existing record.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, there may be overlapping records that were not properly cleaned up.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the existing records in the infotype you are trying to modify. You can do this by using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check the validity periods of existing records.
  Adjust Validity Periods: If you find overlapping records, you will need to adjust the validity periods of either the new record you are trying to create or the existing records to ensure there are no overlaps.
  Delete or Archive Old Records: If the existing records are no longer needed, consider deleting or archiving them to resolve the overlap.
  Consult with HR Team: If you are unsure about which records to modify or delete, consult with your HR team or the person responsible for maintaining HR data to ensure that you are not affecting important data.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Infotypes are data structures in SAP HR that store specific types of employee-related information. Each infotype has a validity period that defines when the data is applicable.
