  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPPF_DET137 - Deleted action definition &1 - Condition &2 to be deleted ?

    The SAP error message SPPF_DET137 indicates that there is an issue with a deleted action definition in the context of the SAP system's workflow or process management. Specifically, the message states that an action definition (identified by &1) and a condition (identified by &2) are marked for deletion.

    Cause:

    1. Deleted Action Definition: The action definition referenced in the error message has been deleted from the system. This could happen due to changes in the workflow configuration or process definitions.
    2. Inconsistent Data: The system may have inconsistent data where a condition is still referencing an action that no longer exists.
    3. Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it is possible that the action definition was not included in the transport request.

    Solution:

    1. Check Action Definitions: Verify if the action definition (identified by &1) exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SWO1 for object types or SWDD for workflows) and checking the action definitions.
    2. Restore Deleted Action: If the action definition was deleted unintentionally, you may need to restore it from a backup or re-create it in the system.
    3. Update Conditions: If the action definition is no longer needed, you should update or delete the conditions (identified by &2) that reference the deleted action. This can be done in the workflow or process configuration.
    4. Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request. If not, you may need to re-transport the missing objects.
    5. Consistency Check: Run consistency checks in the workflow or process management area to identify and resolve any inconsistencies in the definitions.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SWDD (Workflow Builder), SWO1 (Object Type), and SWI1 (Work Item Selection) for managing workflows and actions.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide additional context or solutions for specific scenarios.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation on workflow management and action definitions to understand how they are structured and managed within the system.

    If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
