WER394
- Rule rank cannot be initial. ?SAP Error Message: WER394 - Rule rank cannot be initial.
Cause: This error occurs in SAP Workflow when a rule used in the workflow has an undefined or initial rank value. In SAP Business Workflow, rules are assigned ranks to determine their priority or order of execution. If the system encounters a rule with an initial (empty or zero) rank, it cannot process the workflow correctly, leading to this error. Common scenarios causing this error include: A custom or standard rule has not been properly maintained or assigned a rank. The workflow or rule configuration is incomplete or corrupted. Transport or system copy issues where rule ranks were not transported or initialized correctly.
Solution: Check the Rule Configuration: Go to transaction PFTC_RULE or SWO1 (depending on your SAP version) to display and maintain workflow rules. Verify that the rule in question has a valid rank assigned. If the rank is initial or missing, assign a proper rank value (usually a positive integer). Adjust
