  Check Existing Relocations: Review the existing relocation records for the property or unit in question. Identify the date ranges of these records to see where the overlap occurs.
  
  
  Adjust Dates: If the relocation you are trying to create overlaps with an existing record, you will need to adjust the start and/or end dates of either the new relocation or the existing one to eliminate the overlap.
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Records: If the existing relocation is no longer valid or needed, consider deleting or modifying it to free up the date range for the new relocation.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the RE-FX module for more detailed guidance on managing relocations and understanding date constraints.
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic: If your organization has implemented custom logic or enhancements in the RE-FX module, ensure that these do not interfere with the standard date validation processes.
