• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KM481 - Intervals &2 to &3 overlap with interval &1 ?

  The SAP error message KM481 indicates that there is an overlap in the time intervals defined in your system. This error typically occurs in the context of planning or scheduling, where multiple intervals are defined for a resource, and the system detects that the specified intervals overlap with each other.
  Cause:
  The error message KM481 is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to create or modify a time interval (e.g., for a resource, project, or activity) that overlaps with an existing interval.
  The intervals defined for a particular resource or activity are not mutually exclusive, meaning that the start and end times of the intervals conflict.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KM481 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Intervals: Check the intervals that you have defined in the system. Look for the intervals that are causing the overlap. The error message will typically indicate which intervals are conflicting.
  
  
  Adjust the Intervals: Modify the intervals to ensure that they do not overlap. This may involve:
  
  Changing the start or end times of one or more intervals.
  Deleting or merging intervals if they are not needed.
  
  
  
  Validate Changes: After making adjustments, validate the changes to ensure that the intervals are now correctly defined without overlaps.
  
  
  Test the Configuration: If applicable, test the configuration in a development or test environment before applying it to the production environment to ensure that the changes resolve the issue without introducing new problems.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to adjust the intervals, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific module you are working with (e.g., SAP Controlling, Project System).
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using specific transaction codes related to planning or scheduling (e.g., CJI3 for project reports, KP06 for cost planning).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or fixes related to this error.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to modify the intervals in the system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the KM481 error and ensure that your intervals are correctly defined without overlaps.
