• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD1B235 - Range node overlaps with node &1 &2 under node &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message USMD1B235, which states "Range node overlaps with node &1 &2 under node &3 &4," typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when there are overlapping ranges defined in the data model. This error indicates that there are two or more range nodes that conflict with each other, which can lead to ambiguity in data processing.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Overlapping Ranges: Two or more range nodes are defined in such a way that their values overlap. For example, if you have a range defined from 1 to 10 and another from 5 to 15, this will trigger the error.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the data model may not be set up correctly, leading to overlapping definitions.
  Data Entry Issues: During data entry or migration, ranges may have been incorrectly specified, leading to overlaps.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify Overlapping Ranges:
  
  Review the range nodes defined under the specified parent node (as indicated by the error message).
  Check the values of the range nodes to identify which ones are overlapping.
  
  
  
  Adjust Ranges:
  
  Modify the range definitions to ensure that they do not overlap. This may involve changing the start and end values of the ranges so that they are distinct.
  Ensure that each range is unique and does not conflict with others.
  
  
  
  Validation:
  
  After making changes, validate the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  Test the data model to confirm that it behaves as expected without any overlaps.
