  SAP Error Message:
  WES_FILTER031 Filter &1/&2: Result &3 of &4
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message typically appears in the context of SAP Workflow or Business Event System (WES) filtering. It indicates the result of applying a filter to a set of data or events.
  
  &1 = Filter name or filter number  
  &2 = Filter step or sub-filter  
  &3 = Number of records/events that passed the filter  
  &4 = Total number of records/events processed by the filter
  
  The message essentially reports how many records/events were selected (result) out of the total processed by a particular filter.
  Cause:  
  
  The message itself is informational, but it can be triggered when the filter returns fewer or no results, which might be unexpected in some scenarios.
  It can indicate that the filter criteria are too restrictive or incorrectly defined, resulting in fewer events being processed downstream.
  Sometimes, it may appear during troubleshooting or monitoring workflows or event processing to understand how many items passed a filter.
  
  
  Solution / How to Handle:
  
  
  Check Filter Definition:
  
  Review the filter criteria in the workflow or event system to ensure they are correct and not overly restrictive.
  
  
  Analyze the Data:
  
  Verify the data or events being processed to confirm that the expected number of records should pass the filter.
  
  
  Adjust Filter Logic:
  
  If the filter is too narrow, modify the conditions to allow the expected records/events to pass.
  
  
  Use Trace or Debugging:
  
  Use SAP workflow trace or event trace tools to see how the filter is applied and which records are filtered out.
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific filter or workflow step for additional guidance.
