  Cause
  This error typically occurs in SAP Workflow or SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central when the system tries to determine the manager of an employee (or a workflow agent) based on the manager's external ID, but it cannot find any assignment or valid record for that manager in the system.
  Common causes include:
  
  The manager's external ID provided in the workflow or process does not exist in the system.
  The manager exists but does not have an active assignment (e.g., no valid position, job, or employment record).
  The manager's assignment details are incomplete or missing in the relevant infotypes or tables.
  Data replication issues between SAP SuccessFactors and SAP ERP (if integrated).
  The manager's record might be inactive or terminated, so no valid assignment is found.
