• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRMMC_BSP_WFM005 - Choose a selection criteria or all workitem will be displayed ?

  The SAP error message CRMMC_BSP_WFM005 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Business Workflow Management (WFM) when a user attempts to access a work item list without specifying any selection criteria. The system prompts the user to either choose specific selection criteria or indicates that all work items will be displayed.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered because the system requires at least some parameters to filter the work items. If no criteria are provided, the system cannot determine which work items to display, leading to potential performance issues if a large number of work items exist.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Specify Selection Criteria: When accessing the work item list, ensure that you fill in at least one of the selection criteria fields. This could include parameters such as:
  
  Work item type
  Status
  User responsible
  Date ranges
  Other relevant filters
  
  
  
  Use Default Values: If you frequently access the same type of work items, consider setting default values for the selection criteria to streamline your workflow.
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the work items you are trying to access. Lack of permissions might also lead to issues in displaying the work items.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the selection criteria available, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific transaction or application you are using.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant transaction codes related to workflow management, such as SWI1 (Work Item Selection) or SWI2_FREQ (Work Items by Frequency).
  Performance Considerations: Displaying all work items without criteria can lead to performance degradation, especially in systems with a large number of work items. Always try to filter your search.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional context or updates that may address specific issues.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP Community for further assistance.
