  SAP Error Message: WER_UI073
  
  1. Cause of the Error
  The error message WER_UI073 typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Business Workplace (SBWP) when there is an issue related to the user interface or workflow container elements. Specifically, this error is often triggered when a required workflow container element or UI element is missing, incorrectly defined, or has an inconsistent data type.
  In many cases, WER_UI073 indicates that the system cannot find or process a particular UI element or container attribute that is expected during the execution of a workflow step or during the rendering of a workflow task UI.
  
  2. Meaning of the Message
  The exact text of the message WER_UI073 is:
  
  WER_UI073: "Container element & not found"
  
  This means that the workflow container element (variable) with the specified name (represented by &) is not found in the workflow container at runtime.
  
  3. Common Causes
  
  The workflow container element referenced in the workflow step or UI definition does not exist.
  The container element name is misspelled or incorrectly referenced.
  The container element was not passed correctly from one step to another.
  The workflow container was not properly initialized or populated.
  The workflow task UI expects a container element that is not available or has been deleted.
  Changes in the workflow definition or task interface without corresponding updates in the container elements.
  
  
  4. Solution / How to Fix
  
  
  Check Workflow Container Elements:
  
  Go to the workflow builder (transaction SWDD).
  Check the container elements of the workflow and the specific step/task where the error occurs.
  Verify that the container element mentioned in the error message exists and is correctly spelled.
  
  
  
  Verify Container Element Mapping:
  
  Ensure that the container element is properly mapped between workflow steps.
  Check the input/output parameters of the workflow tasks and methods.
  
  
  
  Check Task Definition:
  
  In transaction PFTC (Task Maintenance), verify the container elements of the task.
  Make sure the task interface matches the workflow container elements.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Logs:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWEL to check workflow logs for more detailed error information.
  Identify at which step the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Adjust or Recreate UI Elements:
  
  If the error is related to the UI (e.g., a custom workflow task UI), check the UI element definitions.
  Make sure the UI elements correspond to existing container elements.
  
  
  
  Transport and Version Consistency:
  
  If workflows or tasks were transported between systems, ensure that all related objects (tasks, container elements, UI definitions) are consistent and correctly imported.

  Often, this error is related to custom workflows or custom task UIs, so checking custom code or UI definitions is important.
  
  
  
  General Advice:
  
  Always ensure that container elements are consistently defined and passed throughout the workflow.
  When modifying workflows or tasks, update container elements accordingly.
  Test workflows in development before transporting to production.
