• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message K9050 - Overlapping values were maintained for characteristic & ?

  The SAP error message K9050, which states "Overlapping values were maintained for characteristic &," typically occurs in the context of Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) when defining characteristics and their value ranges. This error indicates that there are overlapping intervals for the values assigned to a characteristic, which can lead to ambiguity in data processing.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when two or more value ranges for a characteristic overlap. For example, if you have defined the following ranges for a characteristic:
  
  Range 1: 1 to 10

  In this case, the ranges overlap (values 5 to 10 are common to both), which is not allowed in SAP.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the K9050 error, you need to identify and correct the overlapping value ranges. Here are the steps to do so:
