The SAP error message
/ACCGO/TSDB284 Effective start date overlaps; effective end date delimited
typically occurs in the context of managing time series data, particularly when dealing with time-dependent data entries in SAP systems, such as SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP.Cause:
This error indicates that there is a conflict with the effective dates of a time series entry. Specifically, it means that the effective start date of the new entry overlaps with an existing entry's effective date range. In other words, the system is trying to create or modify a record that has a start date that falls within the range of an existing record's start and end dates.
Solution:
To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
Check Existing Entries: Review the existing time series entries to identify any that overlap with the new entry you are trying to create or modify. You can do this by checking the effective start and end dates of the existing records.
Adjust Dates: If you find overlapping entries, you may need to adjust the effective start or end dates of either the new entry or the existing entries to eliminate the overlap. Ensure that the new entry's dates do not conflict with any existing records.
Delete or Archive: If the existing entry is no longer needed, consider deleting or archiving it, provided that this action complies with your organization's data management policies.
Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for managing time series data to ensure compliance with best practices.
Testing: After making adjustments, test the changes in a development or test environment before applying them to the production system to ensure that the error is resolved.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
