SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: R11 - Business Partner and BDT

• Message number: 588

• Message text: Validity of BP role &1 restricted to date &2

What causes this issue?

The BP roles &V1& and &V3& are assigned to a role exclusion group,
meaning that a permitted transition is defined between these two roles.
The validity of the BP roles may not overlap. Since a transition between
the BP roles exists, the validity start of the BP role &V3& can however
be directly adjacent to the validity end of the BP role &V1&; or the
validity end of the BP role &V3& can be directly adjacent to the
validity start of the BP role &V1&.
