For example, if you have an existing rate valid from January 1 to January 31, and you try to create a new rate valid from January 15 to February 15, this will trigger the error.

  Delete or Archive Old Rates: If the existing rate is no longer needed, consider deleting or archiving it to eliminate the overlap.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on managing transportation rates and understanding validity periods.
