SIG513 - Details

• The SAP error message SIG513 ("No signature sequence found: identical individual signatures") typically occurs in the context of electronic signatures in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with document approvals or workflows that require digital signatures. This error indicates that the system has detected that the individual signatures being processed are identical, which means that it cannot determine a valid sequence for the signatures.
  
  Cause:
  
  Identical Signatures: The most common cause of this error is that the same user or signature is being applied multiple times in a sequence where unique signatures are expected.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the signature process in the SAP system, leading to the system not recognizing the sequence of signatures correctly.
  Workflow Design: The workflow may be designed in such a way that it does not allow for the proper sequencing of signatures, especially if the same individual is required to sign multiple times.
