Thanks for your response. Glad, I could help!
One more chance for PFUD's reaction (though I suspect, not even SAP knows exactly how that should work anymore).
Go to PPOME, click on the position (or Job), right-click and in the menu GoTo RoleHandling Overview. Click on the role. Are there periods? I will attach a hardcopy to show you where to look. The tricky part is - in case there are periods - to find out when there would be an overlap. The periods shown in PPOME are not necessarily the same shown in PFCG (when you go to users/Organisation Management) and in PFCG (unfortunately) PFUD never deletes old periods and handles the period assignement differently from HR-OM which leads to some really funny s***.
PPOME:
The same view from PFCG (Users -> Organizational Management):
In this case there are no periods in PPOME and the time slices in PFCG are consistent with that, so all is well. This is not necessarily the case, especially if you have roles that are a lot older and have seen much use - e.g. many different relations over time.

Still recent - many of them (and why can't I insert a link here??) 2031631 1979299 1416149 1871405 1816508 and many, many more. An interesting read: 1793251 which describes how the implementation of some previous notes leads to inconsistencies in some tables.
