  Causes:
  
  Missing Transaction Assignment: The workflow task may not have a transaction assigned to it, or the transaction may not be correctly configured.
  Incorrect Workflow Configuration: The workflow definition might be incomplete or incorrectly set up, leading to the absence of a valid transaction.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the workflow may not have the necessary authorizations to access the transaction.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the system configuration or inconsistencies in the workflow environment.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Workflow Task Configuration:
  
  Go to the workflow definition in transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) and verify that the task is correctly configured with the appropriate transaction.
  Ensure that the task is linked to a valid transaction code.
