• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_AUT061 - Start date not unique ?

  The SAP error message S_AUT061: Start date not unique typically occurs in the context of authorization checks, particularly when dealing with authorization objects that have time-dependent validity. This error indicates that there are multiple entries with the same start date for a particular authorization object, which creates ambiguity in determining which authorization should be applied.
  
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that there are multiple authorization records with the same start date for a user or role. This can happen if the authorizations were not maintained correctly or if there were changes made to the authorization data that resulted in duplicates.
  Time-Dependent Authorizations: If you are using time-dependent authorizations, the system expects unique start dates for each authorization entry. If two or more entries share the same start date, the system cannot determine which one to use.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Authorization Data: Review the authorization data for the user or role
