• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMPS_DISPOSAL105 - New rule has a stronger action than the rule of the superordinate class ?

  The SAP error message RMPS_DISPOSAL105 indicates that there is a conflict in the disposal rules defined in the system. Specifically, it means that a new rule you are trying to create or modify has a stronger action than the rule of the superordinate class. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Product Safety (PS) or Waste Management (WM) modules, where disposal rules are defined for handling materials.
  Cause:
  
  Rule Hierarchy Conflict: The new rule you are trying to implement has a stronger action (e.g., a more severe disposal method) than an existing rule that is higher in the hierarchy. In SAP, rules can be organized in a hierarchy, and a subordinate rule should not have a stronger action than its superordinate rule.
  Misconfiguration: There may be a misconfiguration in the disposal rules, where the new rule is incorrectly defined or the existing rules are not aligned with the intended disposal strategy.
  Rule Overlap: The new rule may overlap with existing rules, leading to conflicts in how the system interprets which rule should apply.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Rule Hierarchy: Check the hierarchy of the disposal rules in your SAP system. Ensure that the new rule you are trying to create does not have a stronger action than any of the superordinate rules.
  Modify the New Rule: If the new rule is indeed intended to be subordinate, adjust its action to be less severe than the superordinate rule. This may involve changing the disposal method or conditions.
  Adjust Existing Rules: If the new rule is correct and should have a stronger action, consider revising the existing superordinate rules to align with the new rule's intended action.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines on disposal rules to ensure compliance with best practices and system requirements.
  Testing: After making changes, test the rules in a development or quality assurance environment to ensure that the error does not recur and that the disposal process works as intended.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on managing disposal rules.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to waste management and disposal rules, such as OIAB (for managing disposal rules) or similar.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to create or modify disposal rules in the SAP system.
  Training: Consider training sessions or workshops on SAP Waste Management or Product Safety to better understand the configuration and management of disposal rules.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RMPS_DISPOSAL105 error and ensure that your disposal rules are correctly configured in SAP.
