How To Fix KEO060 - Company codes &1 and &2 overlap

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KEO - Enterprise Organization

• Message number: 060

• Message text: Company codes &1 and &2 overlap

What causes this issue?

You want to assign company code &V1& to HR organizational unit "&V3&"
(key &V4&). This organizational unit is however already assigned to
company code &V2& at lower levels of the hierarchy.

System Response

The system cannot assign the company code &V1& to the HR organizational
unit "&V3&" because to do so would mean company codes &V1& and &V2&
would overlap and you defined such overlapping as "not permitted" for
controlling area &V4& (see Customizing settings for enterprise
organization).

How to fix this error?

Either change the Customizing setting for controlling area &V4&
(enterprise organization) or assign the company code to another HR
organizational unit that is not yet assigned to a company code via the
inheritance principle.
