  Cause
  This error typically occurs in SAP CRM or SAP Workflow when a required ID field (such as Business Partner ID, Product ID, or any other key identifier) is missing or not entered in a transaction or workflow step. The system expects a valid ID to proceed, and if it is not provided, it throws this error.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Missing mandatory input in a CRM transaction or workflow.
  A user or process step did not supply a required identifier.
  Data transfer or integration issues where the ID is not passed correctly.
  Custom enhancements or validations that enforce ID entry but the ID is blank.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Input Fields:
  
  Ensure that all mandatory ID fields are filled in the transaction or workflow step.

  Check the interface or middleware mappings to ensure the ID is not lost or blank.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow or CRM Configuration:
  
  Check the workflow step or CRM transaction configuration to confirm which ID is mandatory.
  Adjust the configuration if necessary to make the field optional or provide a default value.
