• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFCS107 - No planning date sent to function module &1 &2 &3 &4 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WFCS107 No planning date sent to function module &1 &2 &3 &4
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a workflow function module expects a planning date as an input parameter, but no planning date is provided (i.e., the planning date is missing or not passed correctly). The planning date is often required for scheduling or timing-related workflow steps.
  The placeholders &1, &2, &3, and &4 represent the function module name and possibly other related parameters or context information, which can help identify exactly where the problem occurred.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP Workflow, certain function modules require a planning date (e.g., a date on which an activity is planned to start or be executed).
  If the workflow container or the calling program does not supply this date, the function module cannot proceed, resulting in this error.
  This typically happens in custom workflows or when standard workflows are extended/customized and the planning date parameter is not properly maintained or passed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Workflow Container:
  
  Verify that the workflow container has a valid planning date element.
  Ensure that the planning date is correctly filled before the function module is called.
  
  
  
  Check the Function Module Call:
  
  Identify the function module mentioned in the error message (&1).
  Review the interface of this function module to confirm which parameter expects the planning date.
  Make sure the calling program or workflow step passes the planning date parameter correctly.
  
  
  
  Debug the Workflow:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_DIAG to find the workflow instance and step where the error occurs.
  Debug the workflow to check the values of the container elements at runtime.
  Confirm if the planning date is missing or incorrectly formatted.
  
  
  
  Adjust Workflow Logic:
  
  If the planning date is optional in your scenario, modify the workflow or function module logic to handle missing dates gracefully.
  Otherwise, ensure that the planning date is always set before the function module is called.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code:
  
  If the function module is custom or enhanced, review the code to ensure it handles the planning date parameter properly.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WFCS107 or the specific function module name for any known issues or patches.
  
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Workflow steps involving scheduling or deadline monitoring.
  Function modules related to task creation, deadline calculation, or event triggering.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WFCS107 No planning date sent to function module &1 &2 &3 &4 indicates that a required planning date parameter was not passed to a workflow function module. To resolve it, ensure the planning date is correctly set and passed in the workflow container or calling program before the function module execution.
