• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TPM_TRG612 - Superordinate classification type &1 must not have a superordinate type ?

  The SAP error message TPM_TRG612 indicates that there is an issue with the classification of a financial instrument or transaction in the Treasury and Risk Management (TRM) module. Specifically, it suggests that a superordinate classification type (the higher-level category) is incorrectly set to have another superordinate type, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises from one of the following scenarios:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The classification types in the system may not be configured correctly. A superordinate classification type should not have another superordinate type assigned to it.
  Data Entry Error: During the creation or modification of a classification type, an incorrect relationship may have been established.
  Hierarchy Misconfiguration: The hierarchy of classification types may be incorrectly defined, leading to circular references or invalid relationships.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TPM_TRG612 error, you can follow these steps:

  Verify the hierarchy of classification types to ensure that no superordinate classification type has another superordinate type assigned to it.
  
  
  
  Correct Relationships:
  
  If you find any incorrect relationships, modify them to ensure that superordinate types do not have superordinate types themselves.
  Ensure that the hierarchy is logical and follows the intended structure.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entries:
  
  If the error occurred during data entry, review the entries for the specific financial instrument or transaction that triggered the error.
