• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_BPE013 - Check &1 mustn't be executed before than check &2 ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_BPE013 indicates that there is a sequence issue in the execution of checks within a Business Process Engine (BPE) or a similar workflow context. Specifically, it states that a certain check (denoted as &1) cannot be executed before another check (denoted as &2). This typically occurs in scenarios where the checks are dependent on each other, and the system is enforcing the correct order of execution.
  Cause:
  
  Dependency Violation: The error arises when the system detects that a prerequisite check (check &2) has not been completed before attempting to execute the subsequent check (check &1).
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the workflow or process definitions that do not respect the required sequence of checks.
  Data Issues: The data being processed may not meet the expected conditions for the checks, leading to an incorrect execution order.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Check Sequence: Examine the workflow or process definition to ensure that the checks are defined in the correct order. Make sure that check &2 is executed before check &1.
  Adjust Configuration: If the checks are part of a configuration, adjust the settings to ensure that dependencies are respected.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the execution flow and identify where the sequence is being violated. This may involve checking the logic in the BPE or any custom code that is involved.
  Data Validation: Ensure that the data being processed is valid and meets the conditions required for the checks to execute correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific checks involved to understand their dependencies and requirements.
