Message text: Warning: Weighting factor already exists for this period



What causes this issue?

An operational, organizational weighting for an object has been created.
However, their object has been valuated in a different status for the
selected time period. For this reason, subsequent status changes can
lead to errors, since overlapping data records are not allowed for the
same object.


System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.



How to fix this error?

To avoid errors during status changes, the relevant object should be
restricted to ensure that no times overlap. Alternatively, one of the
objects should be deleted.
