• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFD_BL_MSG092 - Field mapping for &1 does not exist. ?

  The SAP error message:
  WFD_BL_MSG092 Field mapping for &1 does not exist.
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in the SAP Workflow system when the workflow engine tries to map a field (usually a container element or a parameter) but cannot find the corresponding field mapping definition. Essentially, the workflow expects a mapping for a particular field (denoted by &1, which is replaced by the actual field name in the runtime message), but this mapping is missing or not maintained.
  This typically happens in scenarios such as:
  
  When a workflow step or container element references a field that has not been defined or linked properly.
  When importing or modifying workflows and the field mapping is incomplete.
  When using Business Object (BO) methods or events in workflows and the mapping between BO attributes and workflow container elements is missing.
  When integrating with other components (e.g., BRF+, custom function modules) and the expected field mapping is not set up.
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  In SAP Business Workflow (transaction SWDD, SWO1, SWI1, etc.)
  During workflow execution or activation.
  When a workflow container element or method parameter is referenced but not mapped.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Identify the missing field:
  
  Check the exact field name in the error message (the &1 placeholder will be replaced by the actual field name).
  Review the workflow container elements and parameters to find where this field is used.
  
  
  
  Check the workflow container:
  
  Go to the workflow builder (transaction SWDD).
  Open the workflow definition.
  Check the container elements and ensure the field is defined.
  If the field is supposed to be mapped from a Business Object attribute or method parameter, verify the mapping.
  
  
  
  Check Business Object (BO) mapping:
  
  Use transaction SWO1 to check the BO involved.
  Verify that the attribute or method parameter exists.
  Check the mapping between the BO and the workflow container.
  
  
  
  Maintain or create the missing field mapping:
  
  In the workflow container, add the missing element or correct the mapping.
  If the field is a parameter of a method, ensure the method signature matches and the mapping is maintained.
  If the field is part of a container element that should be passed from one step to another, ensure the link is properly defined.
  
  
  
  Check for transport/import issues:
  
  Sometimes, after transporting workflows or BOs between systems, mappings can be lost.
  Re-import or re-activate the workflow and BO.
  Re-establish the mappings if necessary.
  
  
  
  Test the workflow:
  
  After corrections, activate the workflow.
  Test the workflow execution to confirm the error no longer occurs.

  Common scenario: This error often appears when a workflow is copied or modified and the container elements or BO mappings are not updated accordingly.
  Debugging: You can debug the workflow runtime to see where the mapping fails by setting breakpoints in the workflow engine or using transaction SWI1 to analyze the work item.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Description
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Missing field mapping for a workflow container element or BO attribute/parameter.
  
  
  Effect
  Workflow cannot find the field mapping, causing runtime error WFD_BL_MSG092.
  
  
  Solution
  Define or correct the field mapping in the workflow container or BO method parameters.
  
  
  Tools
  SWDD, SWO1, SWI1, SWU3
  
  
  Notes
  Check for transport issues, re-activate workflow and BO, verify method signatures and mappings.
