  Error Message
  W_CB357: Overlapping validity period for plant &1
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs when you try to create or maintain master data (such as material master, vendor master, or other master records) that includes validity periods for a plant, and the validity periods you are entering overlap with existing validity periods for the same plant.
  In SAP, certain master data records are maintained with validity periods to specify the time frame during which the data is valid. Overlapping validity periods for the same plant are not allowed because it creates ambiguity about which data is valid at a given time.
  For example, if you have a material master record with a plant-specific data validity from 01.01.2023 to 31.12.2023, and you try to enter another record for the same plant with validity from 01.07.2023 to 31.12.2024, the periods overlap
