  SAP Error Message:
  WFD_BL_MSG002: The manager work assignment ID &1 does not exist.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when the system tries to determine the manager of an employee or a position, but the manager's work assignment (i.e., the specific organizational assignment or position held by the manager) cannot be found in the system.
  In other words, the workflow is trying to find the manager's work assignment ID (which is a unique identifier for the manager's position or role in the organizational structure), but this ID does not exist or is not maintained in the system.
  Common reasons include:
  
  The manager's position or work assignment has been deleted or is inactive.
  The organizational assignment for the manager is missing or incomplete.
  The manager's personnel number or position is not correctly linked in the organizational management (OM) module.
  The workflow container or the organizational model is not properly synchronized.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Manager's Work Assignment:
  
  Go to transaction PPOME or PO13 to check the manager's position and ensure it is active and correctly maintained.
  Verify that the manager has a valid work assignment (i.e., the position or organizational assignment exists).
  
  
  
  Verify Organizational Assignment:
  
  Use transaction PP01 or PP03 to check the manager's organizational assignment.
  Ensure that the manager's position is correctly linked to the organizational unit and that the validity dates are correct.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Container:
  
  If this error occurs during workflow execution, check the workflow container to ensure that the manager's work assignment ID is correctly passed.
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWIA to analyze the workflow log and identify where the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Synchronize Organizational Data:
  
  Run the program RHINTE30 to synchronize the organizational data if there are inconsistencies.
  Alternatively, check for inconsistencies in the organizational management data using transaction PPOMA_CRM or PPOME.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing for Workflow:
  
  Verify the configuration in transaction SWU3 (Automatic Workflow Customizing) to ensure that the organizational management integration is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Update Manager Assignment:
  
  If the manager's work assignment is missing, recreate or update it in the organizational management.
  Ensure that the manager's position is correctly assigned and valid.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
