You can add a record version with a new effective period.
If the following conditions exist, rule 15 applies:
A record version with a new effective period is added to the cross-reference table.
The specified effective period creates a gap between effective periods.
The base object property setting does not allow noncontiguous effective periods.
The timeline action is set to 4.
Rule 15 ensures the following

behavior:
The cross-reference record with the new effective period is loaded.
If you want to fill gaps when contiguity is broken, the effective period of the existing record version is extended to fill the gap between record versions.
If you do not want to fill gaps when contiguity is broken, the new record version is not inserted and an error is generated. During a batch load, the record is moved to the reject table.
The following image shows the addition of a record to the cross-reference table when contiguity is enabled for the associated base object:
