• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFF_KW010 - Object type &1 is not valid ?

  The SAP error message:
  WFF_KW010 Object type &1 is not valid
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in the SAP Workflow environment when an invalid or unrecognized object type is specified in a workflow step or container element. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the actual object type name that SAP does not recognize as valid.
  Common causes include:
  
  The object type specified in the workflow step or container does not exist in the system.
  Typographical errors in the object type name.
  The object type is not released or activated in the system.
  The workflow is referencing an object type from a component or namespace that is not available or not installed.
  The object type is not properly registered in the Business Object Repository (BOR).
  
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  When creating or editing workflow steps that reference business objects.
  When triggering or running a workflow that tries to access an invalid object type.
  During workflow container mapping or binding.
  When importing or transporting workflows that reference object types not present in the target system.
  
  
  How to check / troubleshoot:
  
  
  Check the Object Type Name:
  
  Verify the exact object type name used in the workflow step or container.
  Make sure there are no spelling mistakes or case sensitivity issues.
  
  
  
  Verify Object Type in BOR:
  
  Go to transaction SWO1 (Business Object Builder).
  Enter the object type name and check if it exists.
  If it does not exist, the object type is invalid or missing.
  
  
  
  Check Object Type Activation:
  
  If the object type exists but is inactive, activate it in SWO1.
  
  
  
  Check Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the workflow was transported from another system, ensure the object type exists in the target system.
  Import the required BOR objects if missing.
  
  
  
  Check Namespace and Component:
  
  Some object types belong to specific namespaces or software components.
  Ensure the relevant component is installed and active.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Container Elements:
  
  In transaction PFTC or workflow builder, check the container elements referencing the object type.
  Correct or replace invalid object types.
  
  
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  Correct the object type name in the workflow step or container to a valid one.
  If the object type is missing, create or import it into the system.
  Activate the object type in SWO1.
  Ensure all required software components and add-ons are installed.
  Re-import or adjust workflows after transport to match the target system's available object types.
  If the object type is custom, ensure it is properly developed and registered.
