• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMPS_USERCUSTOMIZBLE106 - New rule has a weaker action than the rule of the superordinate class ?

  The SAP error message RMPS_USERCUSTOMIZBLE106 indicates that a new rule you are trying to create or modify has a weaker action than the rule of the superordinate class. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's rule management system, particularly in the area of business rules or policies where inheritance and rule hierarchy are involved.
  Cause:
  
  
  Rule Hierarchy: In SAP, rules can be organized in a hierarchy where a superordinate class (parent) can have rules that are more stringent or have stronger actions than those defined in subordinate classes (children). If you attempt to define a rule in a child class that is less strict than the one in the parent class, this error will occur.
  
  
  Action Levels: The actions defined in rules can have different levels of severity or impact. For example, if a parent rule enforces a strict action (like blocking a transaction), and you try to create a child rule that only warns or allows the transaction, the system will flag this as an inconsistency.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Rule Definitions: Check the definitions of the rules in both the superordinate and subordinate classes. Ensure that the action defined in the new rule is at least as strong as the action defined in the parent rule.
  
  
  Modify the New Rule: If the new rule is intended to be less strict, consider whether it should be placed in a different hierarchy or if the parent rule needs to be adjusted to accommodate the new rule.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines on rule management to understand the expected behavior and structure of rules within your specific context.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the rules to ensure that they work as intended without triggering the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Rule Management in SAP: Understanding how rules are structured and managed in SAP can help prevent such errors. Familiarize yourself with the concepts of rule inheritance, action levels, and rule evaluation.
  
  
  SAP Notes and Community: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error. The SAP Community forums can also be a valuable resource for finding solutions from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  
  Training and Support: If you are frequently working with rule management in SAP, consider additional training or consulting with SAP support for best practices in rule creation and management.
  
  
  By addressing the hierarchy and ensuring that the new rule aligns with the actions of the superordinate class, you should be able to resolve the RMPS_USERCUSTOMIZBLE106 error.
