• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI131 - Target validity is not a subset of source validity: Split not possible ?

  The SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI131 indicates that there is an issue with the validity periods of the source and target objects in a routing or planning context. Specifically, it means that the target validity period does not fall within the source validity period, making it impossible to split or transfer the data as intended.
  Cause:
  
  Validity Period Mismatch: The target validity period is not a subset of the source validity period. This can happen if the target period starts before the source period begins or ends after the source period ends.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be an error in how the validity periods were defined for either the source or target objects.
  Configuration Issues: There could be configuration settings in the system that are causing the validity periods to be misaligned.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Validity Periods: Review the validity periods of both the source and target objects. Ensure that the target validity period is entirely within the source validity period.
  
  For example, if the source validity is from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, the target validity should also fall within these dates.
  
  
  
  Adjust Target Validity: If the target validity period is incorrect, adjust it to ensure it is a subset of the source validity period.
  
  
  Data Entry Review: Verify that the data entered for both the source and target is correct. Look for any typos or incorrect dates that may have been inputted.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on how to manage validity periods in your particular module (e.g., SAP PP, SAP MM).
  
  
  System Configuration: If the issue persists, check the system configuration settings related to routing or planning. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to ensure everything is set up correctly.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, perform a test to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
