• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WER_UI034 - Item field &1 doesn't exist from worktiem &1 ?

  The SAP error message:
  WER_UI034: Item field &1 doesn't exist from workitem &1
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when the system tries to access a workflow container element (an item field) that does not exist or is not defined in the container of the specified work item.
  
  The placeholder &1 is replaced by the actual field name and work item ID.
  Essentially, the workflow runtime is trying to read or manipulate a container element that is missing or incorrectly referenced.
  This can happen if:
  
  The container element was never created or passed to the workflow.
  The container element name is misspelled or incorrect in the workflow step or method.
  The workflow has been changed but the container elements were not updated accordingly.
  The work item is corrupted or incomplete.
  
  
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During workflow execution, especially when a step tries to read or write a container element.
  When a task or method is called that expects certain container elements.
  When a workflow is restarted or a work item is processed and the container is inconsistent.
  
  
  How to analyze?
  
  
  Check the workflow container definition:
  
  Go to the workflow builder (transaction SWDD).
  Open the workflow and check the container elements defined at the workflow level.
  Check the container elements of the specific step or task that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Check the work item container:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_DIAG to find the work item.
  Use SWI6 or SWI5 to display the work item container.
  Verify if the container element mentioned in the error exists.
  
  
  
  Check the step or method code:
  
  If the error occurs in a method or function module, check the code that accesses the container.
  Verify the container element names used in the code.
  
  
  
  Check for recent changes:
  
  If the workflow or task was recently changed, verify that container elements were updated accordingly.
  Check transport logs or change documents.
  
  
  
  
  Solution / How to fix
  
  
  Correct the container element name:
  
  Fix any typos or incorrect container element names in the workflow step or method.
  
  
  
  Add missing container elements:
  
  If the container element is missing, add it to the workflow container or the task container.
  
  
  
  Pass the required container elements:
  
  Ensure that the container elements are passed correctly between workflow steps or tasks.
  
  
  
  Recreate or reset the work item:
  
  If the work item container is corrupted, consider restarting the workflow or deleting and recreating the work item.
  
  
  
  Adjust the workflow logic:
  
  Modify the workflow logic to handle cases where the container element might not exist.
