• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LFS_SSTN_VALIDATIONS064 - &1 has multiple entries with the same validity start/end date ( &2 / &3 ) ?

  The SAP error message LFS_SSTN_VALIDATIONS064 indicates that there are multiple entries in the system that have the same validity start and end dates for a specific object (e.g., a storage type, storage bin, or other logistics-related entities). This situation can lead to confusion in the system as it cannot determine which entry to prioritize or use.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to:
  
  Data Duplication: There are duplicate records in the database for the same object with identical validity periods.
  Incorrect Data Entry: During data entry or data migration, the same record may have been inadvertently created multiple times.
  Configuration Issues: In some cases, configuration settings may allow for overlapping validity periods that should not exist.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Duplicate Entries:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to access the relevant database table (e.g., LFS_SSTN) and check for entries with the same validity start and end dates.
  You can run a query to find duplicates based on the validity dates.
  
  
  
  Analyze the Data:
  
  Review the entries to determine which ones are valid and which can be deleted or modified.
  Check if there are any business rules or requirements that necessitate having multiple entries.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Duplicates:
  
  If duplicates are found, you can delete the unnecessary entries or modify them to ensure that each entry has a unique validity period.
  Ensure that any changes made do not violate business rules or data integrity.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  After making changes, validate the data to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  Test the relevant transactions or processes to confirm that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Prevent Future Occurrences:
  
  Implement checks or validations in the data entry process to prevent the creation of duplicate records in the future.
  Consider reviewing the configuration settings to ensure they align with business requirements.
