  SAP Error Message:
  W0060 – If time period number > as previous, interval must be >
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically occurs in SAP when defining or maintaining time-dependent conditions, intervals, or validity periods (e.g., in pricing conditions, info records, or other master data involving time intervals). 
  The message indicates that:
  
  You have entered a time period number (e.g., period 2) that is greater than the previous period number (e.g., period 1), but  
  The interval (date or time range) assigned to this period is not greater than (i.e., does not start after) the interval of the previous period.
  
  In other words, the system expects that if you define multiple time periods or intervals in sequence, each subsequent period must have a strictly later (greater) interval than the previous one. Overlapping or non-sequential intervals are not allowed.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Time period number: A sequential identifier for periods (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ...).
  Interval: The date or time range assigned
