• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRASR00_PROCESS138 - Process &1 workflow &2 step &3: Do not specify programming exit ?

  The SAP error message HRASR00_PROCESS138 typically occurs in the context of SAP's HR (Human Resources) module, particularly when dealing with workflows in the area of personnel administration or organizational management. This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a workflow step that involves a programming exit.
  Cause:
  The error message "Do not specify programming exit" suggests that the workflow step you are trying to execute has been incorrectly configured to include a programming exit (a custom ABAP program or function module) that is not allowed or not necessary for that particular step. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Workflow Configuration: The workflow step may have been set up to call a programming exit when it should not.
  Missing or Incorrect Parameters: The parameters required for the workflow step may not be correctly defined, leading to the system expecting a programming exit.
  Version or Compatibility Issues: There may be compatibility issues with the version of SAP you are using, especially if the workflow was created in a different version or system.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Workflow Configuration:
  
  Go to the workflow definition in transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder).

  Review Step Parameters:
