  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWB_TODO_CHECKS221 - Cancel function text is missing ?

    The SAP error message "SWB_TODO_CHECKS221: Cancel function text is missing" typically occurs in the context of the SAP Business Workflow (SWB) when there is a missing or incomplete text for the "Cancel" function in a workflow task. This can lead to issues in the workflow execution or display.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Text in Task Definition: The most common cause of this error is that the text for the "Cancel" function in the workflow task is not defined or is incomplete. This can happen if the task was created or modified without providing the necessary text for all functions.
    2. Language Settings: If the text is defined but not available in the language set in the user profile, it may lead to this error.
