• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1L026 - Error: The validity intervals for limit category & overlap ?

  The SAP error message 1L026 indicates that there is an overlap in the validity intervals for a limit category in the system. This typically occurs in the context of credit management or limit management, where different limits are defined for customers or business partners, and the validity periods for these limits overlap, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Overlapping Validity Periods: Two or more limit records for the same limit category have overlapping validity dates. For example, if one limit is valid from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and another limit is valid from June 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, this will trigger the error.
  Incorrect Data Entry: During the creation or modification of limit records, incorrect dates may have been entered, leading to overlaps.
  Multiple Limit Categories: If multiple limit categories are being managed, there may be confusion or mismanagement of the validity periods.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Existing Limits: Check the existing limit records for the specific limit category that is causing the error. Look for any overlapping validity periods.
  
  Use transaction codes like FD32 (Change Customer Credit Management) or FD33 (Display Customer Credit Management) to view the limits.
  
  
  
  Adjust Validity Periods: Modify the validity periods of the limits to ensure that there are no overlaps. You may need to:
  
  Extend the end date of one limit.
  Shorten the start date of another limit.
  Delete or deactivate one of the overlapping limits if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Data Validation: Implement checks or validations in your data entry processes to prevent overlapping validity periods in the future.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing limit categories and validity periods.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the system to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the limits are functioning as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing credit limits, such as FD32, FD33, FD34, etc.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
