This error indicates that there is an issue with the time management data, specifically that an interval (time entry) is being inserted that overlaps with an existing interval for the same month.

  Overlapping Time Intervals: The most common cause of this error is that the time entry you are trying to insert overlaps with an existing time entry for the same employee in the same month. This can happen if:
  
  There are multiple entries for the same period.
  The time entry being processed is not correctly defined (e.g., start and end dates/times).

  Check Existing Time Entries: Review the existing time entries for the employee in the specified month. Ensure that there are no overlapping entries. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the time management infotype (e.g., IT 2001, IT 2002) and checking the entries for the relevant period.
  Adjusting or deleting any conflicting entries.
  
  
  
  Correct the New Entry: If the new time entry overlaps with an existing one, you may need to adjust the start and end dates/times of the new entry to ensure there is no conflict.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If this error occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the configuration settings in the time management module to ensure they align with your organization's policies regarding time entry.
