• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR420 - Please check the entries. No work list selected ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR420 - Please check the entries. No work list selected
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to execute a transaction or process in SAP that requires you to select one or more work lists (or queues) but none have been selected. Work lists are typically used in SAP Workflow or in certain logistics and production processes to group tasks or documents for processing.
  In particular, this message often appears in scenarios involving:
  
  Workflow processing where you need to select a work list to process tasks.
  Logistics or production transactions where you must select a work list to proceed.
  Batch input or mass processing where the system expects a work list selection.
  
  The system expects at least one work list to be selected to continue, but the user has left this selection empty.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select at least one work list:
  
  When prompted to select work lists, ensure you mark or choose one or more work lists before proceeding.
  
  
  Check the selection screen:
  
  Review the screen or dialog where work lists are to be selected. Make sure the selection criteria are correctly entered and that the lists are visible and selectable.
  
  
  Verify user authorizations:
  
  Sometimes, the user may not have authorization to view or select certain work lists, resulting in no lists being available for selection. Check user roles and authorizations related to workflow or the specific module.
  
  
  Check configuration:
  
  If no work lists appear at all, verify the configuration of work lists in the system. For example, in workflow, ensure that the work lists are properly defined and assigned.
  
  
  Consult logs or trace:
  
  If the problem persists, check system logs or workflow traces to identify why no work lists are available or selectable.
