• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICL_ACTLOG048 - Task cannot be forwarded; performer is set by the system (RBP) ?

  The SAP error message ICL_ACTLOG048 indicates that a task cannot be forwarded because the performer is set by the system, typically due to the role-based permissions (RBP) configuration in SAP. This error often occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow or SAP Business Process Management (BPM) when a user attempts to forward a task that is assigned to them automatically by the system.
  Cause:
  
  System-Assigned Performer: The task is assigned to a user based on system rules or configurations, and the system does not allow manual forwarding of such tasks.
  Role-Based Permissions (RBP): The configuration of RBP may restrict the ability to forward tasks that are automatically assigned.
  Workflow Configuration: The workflow may be designed in such a way that certain tasks cannot be forwarded to ensure compliance or process integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Workflow Configuration: Review the workflow definition to understand why the task is assigned to the user and whether it can be modified to allow forwarding.
  Review RBP Settings: Ensure that the role-based permissions are set correctly. If the user needs the ability to forward tasks, the permissions may need to be adjusted.
  Consult with Workflow Administrator: If you are not the workflow administrator, consult with them to understand the specific rules governing task assignments and forwarding.
  Use Alternative Actions: If forwarding is not possible, consider other actions that can be taken on the task, such as completing it or delegating it to another user if that option is available.
