• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_RLS_001400 - Start condition returns 'FALSE' for object &2 ?

  The SAP error message SWF_RLS_001400 indicates that a start condition for a workflow is returning 'FALSE' for a specific object. This typically means that the workflow cannot be initiated because the conditions defined for starting the workflow are not met.
  Cause:
  
  Start Condition Logic: The start condition defined for the workflow may have logical errors or may not be correctly set up. This could be due to incorrect field values, missing data, or conditions that are too restrictive.
  Object Status: The object for which the workflow is being triggered may not be in a valid state to start the workflow. For example, it might be in a status that does not allow the workflow to proceed.
  Authorization Issues: The user or system may not have the necessary authorizations to trigger the workflow.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the workflow configuration or in the related business process that prevent the workflow from starting.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Start Conditions: Check the start conditions defined for the workflow. Ensure that they are correctly set up and that the logic is valid. You can do this by navigating to the workflow definition in the SAP Business Workflow (transaction SWDD).
  Check Object Status: Verify the status of the object (e.g., a purchase order, sales order, etc.) to ensure it is in a state that allows the workflow to start.
  Test Conditions: Use the workflow test tools (transaction SWUS) to simulate the triggering of the workflow and see what conditions are being evaluated.
  Debugging: If necessary, you can debug the workflow to see where the condition is failing. This can be done by setting breakpoints in the workflow logic.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user or system has the necessary authorizations to trigger the workflow. Check the roles and authorizations assigned to the user.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or notes related to the specific workflow to ensure that all prerequisites are met.
