• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP867 - No validity overlapping of objects to be created and relationship target ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP867 No validity overlapping of objects to be created and relationship target typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Model (FDM) or similar data management scenarios. This error indicates that there is an issue with the validity periods of the objects you are trying to create or relate to existing objects.
  Cause:
  
  
  Validity Period Mismatch: The objects you are trying to create or link have validity periods that do not overlap with the validity periods of the target objects. This means that the time frames during which these objects are valid do not intersect, which is a requirement for establishing relationships between them.
  
  
  Incorrect Dates: The start and end dates for the objects being created or the target objects may be incorrectly set, leading to a situation where their validity periods do not align.
  
  
  Data Integrity Rules: The system enforces data integrity rules that require certain relationships to have overlapping validity periods to ensure that the data remains consistent and accurate.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Validity Periods: Review the validity periods of both the objects you are trying to create and the target objects. Ensure that there is an overlap in the dates. Adjust the start and end dates as necessary.
  
  
  Adjust Object Creation: If you are creating new objects, consider modifying their validity periods to ensure they align with the existing objects you are trying to relate to.
  
  
  Review Relationships: If the relationship you are trying to establish is not necessary, consider whether you can create the objects without linking them, or if you can create a different relationship that does not have the same validity constraints.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources specific to the module you are working with for additional guidance on validity periods and relationships.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the creation of the objects again to ensure that the error does not recur.
