What causes this issue?

In Customizing for version combinations, for version combination &V1& in
years &V2& and &V3& you either have specified different consolidation
cycles or for multiperiod consolidation you have specified the same
cycle but with different values for the starting period or starting
year.
This is invalid because the consolidation cycle for year &V2& reaches
well into the year &V3&. That is, the two consolidation cycles overlap.
