  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFD_BL_MSG013 - The version &1 is incorrect. ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WFD_BL_MSG013 The version &1 is incorrect.


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs in SAP Workflow when there is a mismatch or inconsistency related to the version of a workflow object (such as a workflow template, task, or event). The system expects a specific version of the workflow object, but the version provided or referenced is incorrect, outdated, or does not exist.

    Common scenarios causing this error include:

    • Attempting to start or trigger a workflow with a version number that is not valid or does not exist.
    • Using an outdated or deleted version of a workflow template or task.
    • Transport or system inconsistencies where workflow objects have different versions in development, quality, and production systems.
    • Incorrect version number passed in custom code or workflow container.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Workflow Version:

      • Verify the version number of the workflow object (template, task, etc.) you are trying to use.
      • Use transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) to open the workflow and check the version.
      • Ensure that the version exists and is active.
    2. Use the Correct Version:

      • If you are triggering the workflow via code or configuration, make sure the version number passed is correct.
      • If no specific version is required, use the latest active version.
    3. Transport and System Consistency:

      • Check if the workflow object versions are consistent across systems (DEV, QAS, PRD).
      • If necessary, re-import or re-transport the workflow objects to ensure the correct versions are available.
    4. Activate the Workflow Version:

      • Sometimes, the workflow version exists but is not active.
      • Activate the workflow version in SWDD or via the relevant transaction.
    5. Check Custom Code:

      • If the workflow is started or manipulated via custom ABAP code, verify that the version parameter passed is correct.
      • Adjust the code to use the correct version or omit the version parameter to use the latest.
    6. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to workflow versioning.
      • If the problem persists, consider raising a support ticket with SAP.

    Related Information:
