• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KX792 - Selection conditions must not overlap ?

  The SAP error message KX792 ("Selection conditions must not overlap") typically occurs in the context of cost allocation or internal order management when you are trying to define selection criteria for a report or a transaction that involves multiple conditions. This error indicates that the selection criteria you have defined are conflicting or overlapping in a way that is not permissible.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  Overlapping Date Ranges: If you are specifying date ranges for selection criteria, and those ranges overlap, SAP will throw this error.
  Conflicting Conditions: If you have defined multiple selection conditions that cannot logically coexist (e.g., selecting the same characteristic with different values).
  Incorrect Configuration: Sometimes, the configuration of the selection criteria in the report or transaction may not be set up correctly, leading to overlaps.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KX792 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  Check all the selection criteria you have defined. Ensure that there are no overlapping date ranges or conflicting conditions.
  If you are using date ranges, make sure that the end date of one range does not fall within the start and end dates of another range.
  
  
  
  Adjust Conditions:
  
  Modify the selection conditions to ensure they are mutually exclusive. For example, if you have two date ranges, adjust them so that they do not overlap.
  
  
  
  Test with Simplified Criteria:
  
  Temporarily simplify your selection criteria to a single condition to see if the error persists. If it does not, gradually add back the other conditions to identify which one is causing the overlap.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction or report you are using. There may be specific guidelines on how to set up selection criteria correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Customizations:
  
  If your SAP system has custom developments or enhancements, check if any of these are affecting the selection criteria. You may need to consult with your SAP technical team.
