  Check Existing Rules: Before creating a new rule, check the existing rules associated with the Configuration ID to see if the rule you want to create already exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration area in SAP.
  Modify Existing Rule: If the rule already exists and you need to make changes, consider modifying the existing rule instead of creating a new one. This can help maintain consistency and avoid duplication.
  Documentation: Ensure that you have proper documentation of the rules and configurations to avoid future conflicts. This can help in managing changes and understanding the existing setup.
