• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFCS093 - Items posted (table: &1) ?

  The SAP error message WFCS093 Items posted (table: &1) typically occurs in the context of workflow or document processing where an operation cannot be completed because related items have already been posted in the specified table.
  
  Error Message Details
  
  Message ID: WFCS
  Message Number: 093
  Message Text: Items posted (table: &1)
  Meaning: The system is informing that items have already been posted in the database table specified by the placeholder &1.
  
  
  Cause
  This error usually arises when:
  
  You attempt to reverse, delete, or change a document or workflow item that has already been posted to the database.
  The system prevents changes to posted items to maintain data integrity.
  The table mentioned (e.g., BKPF, BSEG, VBRK, etc.) contains posted entries related to the document or workflow item you are trying to process.
  In workflow scenarios, the error can occur if a workflow step tries to modify or delete data that has already been finalized in the system.
  
  
  Common Scenarios
  
  Trying to cancel or reverse a financial document that has already been posted.
  Attempting to delete or modify a workflow container element linked to posted data.
  Workflow steps that try to update or delete posted documents or items.
  Posting or processing documents in batch jobs or workflows where the document status is inconsistent.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve
  
  
  Check the Table &1:
  
  Identify the table name from the error message.
  Use transaction SE16/SE16N or SE11 to view the entries in the table related to your document or workflow item.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Status:
  
  Check if the document or item has been posted or finalized.
  For financial documents, use transactions like FB03 (Display Document) to verify posting status.
  
  
  
  Adjust Workflow or Process Logic:
  
  If the error occurs in a workflow, review the workflow steps to ensure that no step tries to modify or delete posted data.
  Modify the workflow logic to handle posted items appropriately (e.g., skip deletion or reversal steps if items are posted).
  
  
  
  Use Correct Reversal or Cancellation Transactions:
  
  For posted financial documents, use standard reversal transactions (e.g., FB08, MR8M) instead of trying to delete or modify the document directly.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to message WFCS093 for your specific module or scenario.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to perform reversal or cancellation if applicable.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  The placeholder &1 in the message will be replaced by the actual table name where the posted items exist.
  This message is a safeguard to prevent inconsistent data changes.
  If you are a developer or workflow administrator, review the workflow container and steps to ensure proper handling of posted documents.
  In some cases, custom code or user exits might be causing attempts to modify posted data, which should be corrected.
  
  
  Example
  If the message reads:
  WFCS093 Items posted (table: BKPF)
  
  It means that the document header entries in BKPF (Accounting Document Header) are already posted.
  You cannot delete or modify the document directly.
  Use FB08 to reverse the document instead of deleting it.
