  The SAP error message SO718 ("No resubmission defined - resubmission created with ENTER") typically occurs in the context of SAP's workflow or business process management when a user attempts to resubmit a task or document that does not have a defined resubmission process.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Resubmission Configuration: The primary cause of this error is that the workflow or process does not have a resubmission defined for the specific task or document. This means that the system does not know how to handle the resubmission request.
  Incorrect Workflow Design: The workflow may not have been designed to allow for resubmissions, or the necessary steps to handle resubmissions were not included.
