  The SAP error message SKWF_SDOKERRS115 indicates that a source object specified in a workflow or document management context does not exist. This error typically arises in scenarios involving SAP Business Workflow or SAP Document Management System (DMS) when the system is unable to find the specified object.
  Cause:
  
  Object Deletion: The object referenced in the workflow or document may have been deleted or is no longer available in the system.
  Incorrect Object Reference: The object ID or name provided in the workflow or document may be incorrect or misspelled.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been included in the transport request.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database or application layer that prevent the system from recognizing the object.

  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the workflow has the necessary authorizations to access the object. You may need to consult with your security team to verify this.
  Check Transport Requests: If the object was recently transported, verify that the transport request included all necessary components and that the transport was successful.
  Database Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the database to identify any issues. You may need to consult with your basis team for assistance with this.
