SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCMV - Messages for Versions

• Message number: 032

• Message text: Version combination &1: Cons cycle/cons frequency overlaps in &2 and &3

What causes this issue?

In Customizing of version combinations, you assigned a consolidation
cycle in year &V2& and a consolidation frequency in year &V3& for
version combination &V1&. This is invalid because the consolidation
cycle reaches well into the year &V3&.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UCMV032 - Version combination &1: Cons cycle/cons frequency overlaps in &2 and &3 ?

  The SAP error message UCMV032 indicates that there is an issue with the version combination of a consumption cycle and consumption frequency in the context of a specific configuration or master data. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Utilities or Industry Solutions, particularly when dealing with consumption data for utilities like electricity, gas, or water.
  Cause:
  The error message UCMV032 occurs when:
  
  There are overlapping consumption cycles or frequencies defined for the same version combination. This means that the time periods for the consumption cycles or frequencies are not distinct and overlap with each other.
  The system is trying to process data that has conflicting time frames, which can lead to ambiguity in reporting or data processing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the UCMV032 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Consumption Cycles and Frequencies:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP where consumption cycles and frequencies are defined.
  Identify the specific version combination indicated in the error message (represented by &1) and check the consumption cycles (indicated by &2) and consumption frequencies (indicated by &3).
  
  
  
  Adjust Time Periods:
  
  Ensure that the time periods for the consumption cycles and frequencies do not overlap. You may need to modify the start and end dates or the frequency settings to ensure they are distinct.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data associated with the consumption cycles and frequencies. Ensure that there are no duplicate entries or incorrect configurations that could lead to overlaps.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs. You may need to reprocess the data or run the relevant transaction again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configurations, refer to SAP documentation or help resources specific to your version of SAP. This can provide additional insights into how to properly configure consumption cycles and frequencies.
  
  
  
  Seek Support:
  
  If the issue persists after making adjustments, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific system setup.
