• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/MSG_GAF_PE104 - Selection criteria: '&1' and '&2' describe disjoint time intervals ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/MSG_GAF_PE104 indicates that the selection criteria you have provided describe disjoint time intervals. This typically occurs in scenarios where you are trying to select or process data based on time periods that do not overlap or are not continuous, which can lead to inconsistencies in the data processing logic.
  Cause:
  
  Disjoint Time Intervals: The error arises when the start and end dates/times of the selected intervals do not overlap. For example, if you have one interval from January 1 to January 10 and another from January 15 to January 20, these intervals are disjoint.
  Incorrect Input: The user may have entered incorrect or conflicting date ranges in the selection criteria.
  Data Configuration: There may be issues with how the data is configured in the system, leading to the selection of incompatible time intervals.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that the time intervals you are trying to select do overlap or are continuous.
  Adjust Date Ranges: Modify the start and end dates/times to ensure they are within the same range or overlap. For example, if you have two intervals, make sure they are either the same or that one starts before the other ends.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct intervals, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or user guides for the specific transaction or report you are working with.
  Test with Sample Data: If possible, test your selection criteria with known overlapping intervals to confirm that the logic works as expected.
