  The SAP error message OIURVOW017 indicates that there is a conflict with the date range of a unit-to-tract record in the system. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a record that has a date range that overlaps with an existing record in the database.
  Cause:

  Check Existing Records: Review the existing unit-to-tract records in the system to identify the date ranges that are causing the overlap. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or report that displays these records.
