• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB290 - Time interval &1 to &2 includes multiple valid conditions ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB290 Time interval &1 to &2 includes multiple valid conditions
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP when you define or maintain condition records (e.g., pricing conditions, discounts, surcharges) and the validity period (time interval) you specify overlaps with one or more existing condition records for the same key combination (e.g., same customer/material/condition type). In other words, there are multiple condition records valid for the same time period, which can cause ambiguity in condition determination.
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP condition technique requires that condition records for the same key combination do not have overlapping validity periods.
  Overlapping intervals mean the system cannot clearly determine which condition record to apply during the overlapping period.
  This warning is to alert you that the time interval you entered overlaps with existing condition records.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check existing condition records for the same key combination and condition type.
  Adjust the validity periods so that the time intervals do not overlap. This can be done by:
  
  Shortening the validity period of one or more condition records.
  Deleting or archiving obsolete condition records.
  
  
  If overlapping intervals are intentional (rare case), you may need to review your pricing or condition strategy because SAP standard behavior expects non-overlapping intervals.
  Use transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition Records) or VK12 (Change Condition Records) to review and edit condition records.
  After correction, save the condition records again.
