• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMPS_DISPOSAL104 - New rule has a shorter period than the rule of the superordinate class ?

  The SAP error message RMPS_DISPOSAL104 indicates that there is a conflict in the period definitions of a new rule you are trying to create in the context of the SAP Real Estate Management (RE-FX) or similar modules. Specifically, it means that the new rule you are attempting to define has a shorter validity period than the rule defined in the superordinate class (the parent class or rule).
  
  Cause:
  
  Period Overlap: The new rule's validity period overlaps with an existing rule's period in a way that is not allowed. For example, if the superordinate class has a rule valid from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and you are trying to create a new rule valid from January 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023, this will trigger the error.
  Hierarchy Violation: The rules in the hierarchy must maintain a logical structure where subordinate rules cannot have a shorter period than their superordinate rules.
