How To Fix CACSOA165 - No workflow template has been specified for process '&1'

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CACSOA - FOA: Messages Related to Object Assignments

• Message number: 165

• Message text: No workflow template has been specified for process '&1'

What causes this issue?

No <DS:DE.CACSOAWFMID>workflow template</> has been assigned in the
configuration to the <DS:TX.CACS_OAPD>definition for assignment process
</>, on which the specified process is based. If no workflow template
exists, <DS:TX.CACS_OAFOA>Framework for Object Assignment</> is not able
to provide workflow support.

System Response

The workflow cannot be started under these circumstances. Processing is
terminated.

How to fix this error?

Check the configuration of the definition for the assignment process in
the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Framework for Object Assignment.
Assign a workflow template definition to the assignment process, if
appropriate.
Note that the workflow still cannot be started for the process in
question after the configuration has been changed because the process
carries the specific workflow template that was set in the definition of
the assignment process at the point of its creation as an attribute.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CACSOA165 - No workflow template has been specified for process '&1' ?

  The SAP error message CACSOA165 indicates that there is no workflow template specified for the process you are trying to execute. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow or SAP Process Orchestration when a workflow is expected to be triggered, but the system cannot find the corresponding workflow template.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Workflow Template: The specified process does not have an associated workflow template defined in the system.
  Incorrect Process Configuration: The process configuration may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not being able to find the appropriate workflow.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the workflow templates.
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the system configuration or the workflow environment that prevent the template from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Workflow Template:
  
  Go to the SAP Workflow Builder (transaction code SWDD) and check if the workflow template for the specified process exists.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create a new workflow template or modify an existing one to meet the requirements of the process.

  Review Process Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the process in the relevant transaction (e.g., SWFVISU for visualizing workflows) to ensure that it is correctly set up to trigger the workflow.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user executing the process has the necessary authorizations to access and execute the workflow. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG.
