• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FP120 - Only workflow tasks and workflow samples allowed ?

  The SAP error message FP120 ("Only workflow tasks and workflow samples allowed") typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow when you are trying to execute or manage a task that is not recognized as a valid workflow task or sample. This error can arise in various scenarios, such as when configuring workflows, executing tasks, or managing workflow instances.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Task Type: The task you are trying to execute is not a workflow task or a workflow sample. This could happen if you are trying to use a standard task or a custom task that is not properly defined as a workflow task.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the workflow or the task itself, such as missing or incorrect parameters.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the task may not have the necessary authorizations to execute the workflow task.
  System Errors: There could be underlying system errors or inconsistencies in the workflow definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Task Definition: Ensure that the task you are trying to execute is defined as a workflow task in the SAP system. You can do this by checking the task in transaction code SWO1 (Business Object Builder) or PFTC (Task Maintenance).
  Review Workflow Configuration: Verify the configuration of the workflow and ensure that all tasks are correctly defined and activated. Use transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) to check the workflow definition.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the workflow task. You can check this in transaction SU53 after the error occurs to see if there are any authorization issues.
  Test with Sample Workflows: If you are testing a custom workflow, try using a standard workflow sample to see if the issue persists. This can help isolate whether the problem is with the custom workflow or the system itself.
  Check for System Errors: Look for any system logs or error messages that might provide additional context. You can check transaction SLG1 (Application Log) for any relevant logs.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to workflow tasks for any specific requirements or known issues.
