• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W0059 - No time period of 2nd day can contain a day change ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W0059 - No time period of 2nd day can contain a day change
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP Time Management when you try to define or record a time period (e.g., working time, absence, or attendance) that spans over two days and includes a "day change" within the second day’s time period. 
  In simpler terms, the system does not allow a time period on the second day to itself contain a day change (midnight crossing). For example, if you have a time period that starts on day 1 and ends on day 2, the time period on day 2 cannot again cross midnight into day 3.
  This is typically related to time evaluation rules or time data entry where the time intervals are incorrectly defined or overlapping in a way that violates the system’s logic for day changes.
