  The SAP error message RSDMD059, which states "Check time overlaps in master data requests," typically occurs in the context of data loading or data extraction processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. This error indicates that there are overlapping time periods in the master data requests that you are trying to process.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Overlapping Time Periods: The master data requests you are trying to load have overlapping time intervals. For example, if you have two requests that both cover the same time period, this can lead to conflicts.
  
  
  Incorrect Time Interval Configuration: The time intervals defined in the master data requests may not be set up correctly, leading to overlaps.
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data that are causing the system to detect overlaps.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDMD059 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Time Periods: Review the time periods defined in your master data requests. Ensure that there are no overlaps. If there are, adjust the time intervals so that they are distinct.
  
  
  Adjust Request Settings: If you are using multiple requests, consider adjusting the settings to ensure that they do not overlap. This may involve changing the selection criteria or the time intervals.
  
  
  Data Cleanup: If there are inconsistencies in the data, perform a data cleanup. This may involve removing or correcting records that are causing the overlaps.
  
  
  Use the Data Warehousing Workbench: Utilize the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) to analyze the requests and their time intervals. This tool can help you visualize the requests and identify overlaps.
  
  
  Check for Active Requests: Ensure that there are no active requests that are currently processing the same time period. If there are, you may need to wait for them to complete before starting new requests.
