• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PEP154 - Workflow &1 (workflow ID &2) does not exist. ?

  The SAP error message PEP154 indicates that a specific workflow, identified by its workflow ID, does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow when the system is trying to execute or reference a workflow that has not been defined or has been deleted.
  Causes:
  
  Non-existent Workflow: The workflow ID specified in the error message does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the workflow ID or the workflow not being created.
  Deleted Workflow: The workflow may have been deleted or not activated properly.
  Transport Issues: If the workflow was transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been imported correctly.

  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the workflow. This can be checked in transaction code SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
