How To Fix RSBK019 - Overlapping selection criteria with DTP &1 (field &2)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSBK - Messages for the Data Transfer Process

• Message number: 019

• Message text: Overlapping selection criteria with DTP &1 (field &2)

What causes this issue?

The selection criteria for the DTP to be activated overlap with the
selection criteria of DTP &v1& in field &v2&, for example, with regard
to value &v3&. Delta transfer from a source object to a target object is
only allowed to transfer each record oncce. However, this cannot be
guaranteed if two DTPs have overlapping selection criteria with the
'Delta' extraction mode.

System Response

You cannot activate the DTP with the current selection criteria.

How to fix this error?

Restrict the selection criteria so that they do not overlap with the
selection criteria for DTP &v1&.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
