• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WF064 - Target process type & contains active rules ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WF064 Target process type & contains active rules
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to delete or modify a workflow container element or a workflow step, but the target process type (workflow template) still has active rules assigned to it. In SAP Business Workflow, rules are used to determine dynamic values during workflow execution. If active rules are linked to the target process type, the system prevents changes that could affect the workflow's integrity.
  In other words, the workflow you are trying to change or delete is still referenced by active rules, so the system blocks the operation to avoid inconsistencies.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Target process type: This is the workflow template or object type you are working with.
  Active rules: These are rule sets or decision tables assigned to the workflow that are currently active and in use.
  The system does not allow deletion or modification
