• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMPS_IMPORT203 - Row &1: Classes and folders at top level ?

  The SAP error message RMPS_IMPORT203, which states "Row &1: Classes and folders at top level," typically occurs during the import of a transport request in the SAP system. This error indicates that there is an issue with the structure of the data being imported, specifically that there are classes or folders that are not organized correctly at the top level of the import.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Structure: The transport request may contain classes or folders that are not properly structured according to SAP's requirements. For example, classes should be organized within appropriate packages or folders.
  Missing Packages: If the classes or folders are not assigned to a package, they may be treated as top-level objects, which is not allowed.
  Transport Request Issues: The transport request itself may be corrupted or improperly configured.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RMPS_IMPORT203 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Transport Request:
  
  Review the transport request in the Transport Organizer (SE09 or SE10) to ensure that all objects are correctly assigned to packages.
  Make sure that classes and folders are not at the top level but are instead organized within appropriate packages.
  
  
  
  Reorganize Objects:
  
  If you find any classes or folders that are at the top level, move them into the appropriate package using transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE21 (Package Builder).
  Ensure that all objects are properly categorized and that there are no orphaned objects.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Transport Request:
  
  If the transport request appears to be corrupted, consider recreating it. You can do this by creating a new transport request and manually adding the necessary objects.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that all dependencies for the classes and folders are also included in the transport request. Missing dependencies can sometimes lead to import errors.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. There may be patches or updates that can resolve the issue.
