  The SAP error message HRTIM00TDT106 indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration of time management data, specifically regarding the activation of subsets for two different time types or time-related data elements. The error message typically states that two time types (represented as &1 and &2) cannot both have subsets with the same meaning activated at the same time.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises from the following scenarios:
  
  
  Duplicate Subsets: You have activated subsets for two different time types that are essentially performing the same function or have overlapping definitions. This can happen if the same subset is mistakenly assigned to multiple time types.
  
  
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the time management settings where the same subset is being used for different purposes, leading to ambiguity in how the system should interpret the data.
  
  
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the time management area, they might inadvertently cause conflicts in the subset definitions.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Subset Configurations:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for time management in SAP (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant sections for time types and subsets.
  Check the subsets activated for both time types (&1 and &2) mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Conflicting Subsets:
  
  Identify the subsets that are causing the conflict and deactivate one of them. Ensure that the remaining subset still meets your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to time management and subsets to understand the intended use of each subset.
  
  
  
  Testing:

  Consult SAP Support:
