• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SRC232 - Error in scales: ProcRelationId/Counter &1 : overlapping time intervals ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SRC232 indicates that there is an issue with overlapping time intervals in the context of a process relationship in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when you are trying to define or modify a process relationship (ProcRelation) in the system, and the time intervals for the relationships overlap in a way that is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Overlapping Time Intervals: You have defined multiple process relationships for the same resource or process that have overlapping time intervals. This means that two or more relationships are trying to apply to the same time period, which is not permissible.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the time intervals for the process relationships were not set correctly, leading to overlaps.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when defining the process relationships can lead to overlapping intervals.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Process Relationships:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/PROCREL to view the process relationships.
  Identify the specific process relationship (ProcRelationId) mentioned in the error message.
  Review the time intervals defined for this relationship and any others that may overlap.
  
  
  
  Adjust Time Intervals:
  
  Modify the time intervals of the conflicting process relationships to ensure that they do not overlap. Each relationship should have a distinct time period.
  Ensure that the start and end times of each relationship are set correctly.
  
  
  
  Delete or Merge Relationships:
  
  If there are redundant relationships that serve the same purpose, consider deleting or merging them to eliminate the overlap.
  
  
  
  Validate Changes:
  
  After making adjustments, validate the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs. You can do this by attempting to save or activate the process relationships again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a functional consultant who specializes in SAP APO.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
