How To Fix MDGBP011 - Existing interval does not match time constraint &1 &2 &3 &4

MDGBP011 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MDGBP - Master Data Governance: Business Partner specific messages

• Message number: 011

• Message text: Existing interval does not match time constraint &1 &2 &3 &4

What causes this issue?

A time constraint category was defined for the BP relationship/role
definition category definition.
Time constraint '1'
There must be validity intervals for a BP relationship/role definition
on a time axis that continue from a minimum to a maximum date without
gaps or overlap.
Time constraint '2'
The validity intervals for a BP relationship/role definition must not
overlap on a time axis. Gaps between the intervals are permitted.
Time constraint '4' Only one validity interval may exist for a BP
relationship/role definition.
The validity intervals belonging to a BP relationship/role definition do
not fulfill the conditions of their time constraint.
The time constraint category for the BP relationship/role definition
might have been changed at a later time without adjusting the BP
relationships/role definitions, or the BP relationships/role definitions
became this way through data transfer.
