    Cause

    The error message WFF_KW100 typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow Framework (WFF) when there are issues related to deleting InfoObjects in SAP BW (Business Warehouse).

    Possible causes include:

    • InfoObjects are still in use: The InfoObject you are trying to delete is still referenced or used in other objects such as InfoCubes, DataStore Objects (DSOs), queries, or transformations.
    • Workflow tasks or processes are still active: There might be active workflow tasks or processes related to the InfoObject deletion that have not been completed or have errors.
    • Authorization issues: The user attempting the deletion does not have sufficient authorization to delete the InfoObject.
    • Inconsistent system state: The system might have inconsistencies or locks preventing the deletion of the InfoObject.
    • Dependent objects not deleted: Dependent objects like master data, texts, or attributes related to the InfoObject have not been deleted or cleaned up.

    Solution

    To resolve the WFF_KW100 error, follow these steps:

    1. Check Dependencies:

      • Use transaction RSDIOBJ or RSA1 to check where the InfoObject is used.
      • Ensure that the InfoObject is not part of any InfoCubes, DSOs, MultiProviders, or queries.
      • Remove or adjust these dependencies before attempting deletion.
    2. Check Workflow Status:

      • Use transaction SWI1 or SWIA to check for any active or error workflow tasks related to the InfoObject deletion.
      • Complete or cancel any pending workflow tasks.

      • Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete InfoObjects.
