• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_CST122 - Decision task = not general ?

  The SAP error message SWF_CST122, which states "Decision task = not general," typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow when a decision task is not defined as a general task. This can lead to issues in workflow execution, particularly when the workflow is trying to route to a decision task that is not properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Task Configuration: The decision task may not be set up as a general task in the workflow definition. General tasks are those that can be executed by any user, while non-general tasks may have restrictions based on roles or authorizations.
  Workflow Definition Issues: There may be issues in the workflow definition itself, such as incorrect task assignment or missing parameters.

  Check Task Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SWO1 (Business Object Builder) or SWDD (Workflow Builder).
  Locate the decision task that is causing the error.

  Verify that the decision task is correctly linked and that all necessary parameters are set.
  Ensure that the workflow is activated after making any changes.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to check the user roles and authorizations.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to execute the decision task.
