How To Fix RMSA_VRS056 - Entry &1 - &2 causes overlap in object validity period

RMSA_VRS056 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RMSA_VRS - RMS: Versioning

• Message number: 056

• Message text: Entry &1 - &2 causes overlap in object validity period

What causes this issue?

You have created a version or changed the validity of an existing
version. The period &V1& to &V2& that you have entered causes an
overlap in the validity period of the object, however. In Customizing
for versioning, you specified that overlaps are not permitted or that
they are permitted but the system is to output a warning. The system
has attempted to adjust the validity period to eliminate the overlap.
This attempt was unsuccessful.

System Response

If overlaps are not permitted, processing is canceled. If overlaps are
permitted, you can enter the period, but the system outputs this
warning.

How to fix this error?

If overlaps are not permitted or if you do not want the validity period
to contain an overlap, enter a period that follows on from existing
versions.
