  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFD_BL_MSG039 - The assignment details do not exist. ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WFD_BL_MSG039: "The assignment details do not exist."


    Error Message

    WFD_BL_MSG039
    Text: The assignment details do not exist.


    Cause

    This error typically occurs in SAP Workflow scenarios when the system tries to retrieve assignment details for a workflow step or task, but the expected assignment data is missing or not maintained.

    Common causes include:

    • The workflow container or task assignment is not properly configured.
    • The organizational assignment or user assignment for the workflow step is missing.
    • The workflow step is trying to access an assignment object or container element that has not been filled or does not exist.
    • The workflow is referencing an invalid or deleted user, position, or organizational unit.
    • The workflow task or step is incorrectly linked or the assignment rule is incomplete.

    When does it occur?

    • During workflow execution, when the system tries to determine the agent (user or role) responsible for a task.
    • When the workflow step requires assignment details (e.g., user, position, organizational unit) but cannot find them.
    • When using standard SAP workflows or custom workflows with incomplete assignment configurations.

    Solution

    1. Check Workflow Configuration:

      • Verify the workflow step assignment in transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder).
      • Ensure that the agent assignment rule is correctly defined and active.
      • Check if the assignment container elements are properly filled before the step is executed.
    2. Verify Organizational Management (OM) Data:

      • If the assignment is based on organizational units, positions, or jobs, ensure that the OM data is correctly maintained.
      • Use transaction PPOME or PO13 to check organizational assignments.
    3. Check User Master Data:

      • Confirm that the user or agent exists and is active in the system (transaction SU01).
      • Ensure the user has the necessary roles and authorizations.
    4. Review Workflow Logs:

      • Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to analyze workflow logs and identify where the assignment fails.
      • Look for missing container elements or assignment objects.
    5. Debug Workflow:

      • If necessary, debug the workflow to see why the assignment details are missing.
      • Check the container values and assignment rules during runtime.
    6. Reassign or Maintain Missing Data:

      • If the assignment is missing due to deleted or changed organizational data, update or recreate the necessary assignments.
      • Maintain the assignment details manually if needed.
