• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UCUS0071 - Task &1: No workflow variant assigned for sign-off ?

  The SAP error message UCUS0071 indicates that there is no workflow variant assigned for the sign-off task in a specific process. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow, where a task is expected to have a defined workflow variant for processing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Workflow Variant: The primary cause of this error is that the workflow variant for the specified task (denoted as &1 in the error message) has not been defined or assigned in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the workflow or the task itself, leading to the absence of a valid workflow variant.
  Transport Issues: If the workflow was recently transported from a development environment to a production environment, the necessary variants may not have been included in the transport.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Workflow Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Workflow Builder (transaction code SWDD) and check the workflow definition for the task in question.
  Ensure that a workflow variant is assigned to the task. If not, create or assign a suitable variant.
  
  
  
  Assign Workflow Variant:
  
  Navigate to the relevant task in the workflow definition.
  Assign a valid workflow variant that corresponds to the sign-off process.
  
  
  
  Review Task Settings:
  
  Use transaction code PFTC (Task Maintenance) to review the task settings.
  Ensure that the task is correctly configured and that a workflow variant is specified.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary objects, including workflow variants, were included in the transport request.
  If not, you may need to manually create or adjust the workflow variant in the target system.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the workflow to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the sign-off process works as expected.
