  SAP Error Message:
  WPS01124 Superordinate task list key &1 / ext. ID &2: Invalid usage &3
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or reference a superordinate task list with an invalid usage in the context of task list management in SAP.
  
  Superordinate task list: A task list that acts as a parent or higher-level task list, which can contain subordinate task lists.
  Usage: Defines the purpose or context in which the task list is used (e.g., production, maintenance, inspection).
  The error indicates that the usage type (&3) you are trying to assign or use for the superordinate task list (&1 / &2) is not valid or allowed in the current context.
  
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Mismatch of usage types: The usage of the superordinate task list does not match the expected or allowed usage for the subordinate task list or the operation.
  Incorrect task list type or status: The superordinate task list might be of a type or status that does not support the intended usage.
  Data inconsistency: There might be inconsistencies or incorrect entries in the task list master data.
  Customizing settings: The allowed usages for superordinate task lists might not be properly configured in the system.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  Check the usage type of the superordinate task list:
  
  Go to transaction IA05 (Display task list) or IA02 (Change task list).
  Verify the usage assigned to the superordinate task list.
  
  
  Ensure usage compatibility:
  
  The usage of the superordinate task list must be compatible with the subordinate task list or the operation you are performing.
  For example, a production task list cannot be assigned as a superordinate task list to a maintenance task list.
  
  
  Review customizing settings:
  
  Check the configuration for task list usages in SPRO under:
  Logistics - General -> Task Lists -> Task List Usage -> Define Task List Usage
  
  Verify that the usage you want to assign is allowed for superordinate task lists.
  
  
  Correct the task list data:
  
  If the usage is incorrect, change it to a valid usage.
  If the task list is not supposed to be a superordinate task list, remove or correct the assignment.
  
  
  Check for notes or patches:
  
  Sometimes, SAP releases notes related to task list errors. Check SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes.
