• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WF063 - Process type & included in correction & ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WF063:
  
  SAP Error Message: WF063
  Message Text:
  
  Process type & included in correction &
  
  1. Cause
  This error occurs during workflow correction or reprocessing when the system detects that a particular process type is already included in the correction run. Essentially, the system is trying to include the same workflow process type more than once in the correction or restart procedure, which is not allowed.
  In other words, the workflow correction tool (transaction SWU_CORR) or a similar correction mechanism is attempting to add a process type that has already been added for correction, leading to this message.
  
  2. When does it occur?
  
  When you run workflow correction (e.g., via transaction SWU_CORR) and try to include a process type multiple times.
  When you manually or programmatically try to add the same process type to the correction list more than once.
  During workflow restart or correction after a system failure or workflow error.
  
  
  3. Solution
  
  
  Check the list of process types included in the correction run:
  
  Before adding a process type, verify if it is already included. Avoid adding duplicates.
  
  
  Remove duplicate entries:
  
  If you find duplicates in the correction list, remove the redundant entries.
  
  
  Use the standard correction transaction properly:
  
  Use transaction SWU_CORR to manage workflow corrections. It automatically handles process types and prevents duplicates.
  
  
  Restart the correction process:
  
  If the correction run is stuck or inconsistent, cancel it and start a new correction run, carefully adding only the required process types once.
  
  
  Check for custom code or scripts:
  
  If you have custom programs or scripts that automate workflow correction, ensure they do not add the same process type multiple times.
