SAP Message UPP_PP_K030 - Overlapping characteristic values were maintained for characteristic '&1'

Diagnosis
When maintaining the selections in the current planning level orcurrent planning package for characteristic '&V1&', you maintainedseveral values.
Among these values, the system came across one or more of the followingsituations:

  • One or more individual values appeared several times.

  • One or more individual values are also contained in an interval.

  • Intervals overlap.

  • These cases can also occur when a BW hierarchy was defined inthe planning level or planning package. In this case, the selectionalone is determined from the pages of the hierarchy on the hierarchycharacteristic; this message is also issued when pages occur severaltimes. This is also the case when the hierarchy characteristic itselfis compounded and differs in a higher-level characteristic. Only theshare of characteristic values is relevant for the selection, whichresult from the hierarchy-bearing characteristic.
    Selection values of this type are not supported within manual planning.

    System Response
    Manual planning cannot be called up with the current planning level orplanning package.

    Procedure
    First, determine whether the selections for the characteristic arestored in the planning level or the planning package. Then, change theselections there so that no more overlapping occurs.
    If this message occurs when using an BW hierarchy, then removethe double characteristic values on the hierarchy characteristic. Ifthe hierarchy is compounded and the overlapping characteristic valuesonly occur because the higher-level characteristics are ignored in theselection, then you can still use the hierarchy in the selection if youaccess a subnode. In this subtree, the higher-level characteristicsshould then have the same value and the pages should also not occurseveral times.
