• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEWM-WORKFLOW-01018 - No dialog required for batch input ?

  The SAP error message EEWM-WORKFLOW-01018 ("No dialog required for batch input") typically occurs in the context of workflows or batch input sessions in SAP. This error indicates that a workflow or process is trying to execute a dialog step that is not applicable for batch input processing.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Input Context: The error arises when a workflow attempts to trigger a dialog step that requires user interaction, but the process is running in a batch input mode where no user interaction is possible.
  Workflow Configuration: The workflow may be incorrectly configured to include steps that are not suitable for batch processing.
  Transaction Type: The transaction being executed may not support batch input for certain dialog steps.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Workflow Steps: Check the workflow definition to ensure that it does not include any dialog steps that require user input. Modify the workflow to remove or replace these steps with ones that can run in batch mode.
  Use Background Processing: If user interaction is necessary, consider running the workflow in a mode that allows for user input, or redesign the workflow to handle such cases differently.
  Batch Input Session: If you are using batch input sessions, ensure that the session is correctly set up to handle the transactions being processed. You may need to adjust the transaction or the data being passed to it.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in the workflow to manage situations where a dialog step is not applicable.
