The workflow was started, but the system could not create an executable
dialog workitem for the line item payment release. However, you cannot
release the document directly, it must be released in the workflow. A
subworkflow for the payment release must be determined in the sample
workflow WS00400012; the clerks are determined in role 00400125.
Role 00400125 is based on the function module PR_WF_ACTOR1_DET.

Change the payment release Customizing in Accounts Payable/Accounts
Receivable Accounting. SAP delivers a sample subworkflow for payment
release, WS00400011.

Procedure for System Administrators

Restart the incorrect workflow (transaction <DS:TRAN.SWPR>SWPR</>) once
you have maintained the Customizing for the payment release.
