  The SAP error message SWUO149 ("No other versions exist") typically occurs in the context of workflow management within SAP systems. This error indicates that the system is unable to find any alternative versions of a workflow template or task that you are trying to access or modify.
  Cause:
  
  No Alternative Versions: The primary cause of this error is that there are no alternative versions of the workflow template or task available in the system. This can happen if the workflow has not been copied or if it has not been maintained properly.
  Version Management: The workflow version management might not have been set up correctly, or the versions may have been deleted or not created.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access other versions of the workflow.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Workflow Versions: 
  
  Go to the workflow template in transaction code SWDD (Workflow Builder) and check if there are any other versions available. You can do this by selecting the workflow and checking the version history.

  Transport Requests:
