• 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:
  
  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.
  Language Settings: If the text is defined but not available in the language set in the user profile, it may lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the task was transported from one system to another, the text might not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Task Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction code SWDD (Workflow Builder).
  Open the relevant workflow and check the task definition.
  Ensure that the "Cancel" function text is properly defined in the task properties.
  
  
  
  Maintain Texts:
  
  Use transaction PFTC (Task Maintenance) to find the specific task associated with the workflow.
  Check the "Text" tab and ensure that the "Cancel" function text is filled in for all relevant languages.
  
  
  
  Language Settings:
  
  Verify the language settings of the user profile. If the text is available in a different language, consider changing the user’s language settings or providing the text in the required language.
  
  
  
  Transport Request:
  
  If the task was transported, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects, including texts, were included in the transport.
  
  
  
  Testing:
