  • 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.
