  SAP Error Message:
  WFEA031 Step &1 of &4: Binding from workflow to work item aborted
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the execution of a workflow step when the system tries to bind the workflow container elements to the work item container elements, but the binding process fails or is aborted.
  In other words:
  The workflow engine attempts to transfer data from the workflow container to the work item container (or vice versa) based on the binding definitions in the workflow step. If the data types do not match, the binding is incorrect, or the data is missing, the binding process cannot complete, and this error is raised.
  Common causes include:  
  
  Incorrect or missing binding definitions in the workflow step.  
  Data type mismatches between the workflow container element and the work item container element.  
  The source container element is empty or not initialized.
