    SAP Error Message:

    WFRE_CON100 Error in Function &1 at OP- Header &2


    Meaning / Cause:

    • This error occurs in the SAP Workflow Engine.
    • It indicates that an error happened during the execution of a function module (or method) within a workflow container operation.
    • The placeholder &1 represents the name of the function module or method where the error occurred.
    • The placeholder &2 refers to the operation header or the specific container operation in the workflow where the error was detected.
    • Common causes include:
      • Incorrect or missing data in the workflow container.
      • The function module called by the workflow is not active, missing, or has runtime errors.
      • Authorization issues preventing the function module from executing properly.
      • Inconsistent or incorrect workflow configuration.
      • System or interface errors during the workflow execution.

    Where it Occurs:

    • During the execution of a workflow step that involves container operations.
    • When the workflow engine tries to execute a function module or method to manipulate container data or perform an operation.

    How to Analyze:

    1. Check the Workflow Log:

      • Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to find the workflow instance and analyze the log.
      • Look for the step where the error occurred and check the detailed error message.
    2. Identify the Function Module:

      • From the error message, note the function module name (&1).
      • Test the function module independently in SE37 to see if it runs without errors.
    3. Check Container Data:

      • Verify the data passed to the function module in the workflow container.
      • Use transaction SWO1 to check the workflow container structure.
      • Ensure all required container elements are correctly filled.
    4. Check Authorization:

      • Verify that the user executing the workflow has the necessary authorizations to run the function module.
    5. Check Workflow Configuration:

      • Review the workflow definition in SWDD.
      • Check the container operation step and ensure it is correctly configured.
    6. Check System Logs:

      • Use transaction SM21 or ST22 to check for system dumps or errors related to the function module.

    Possible Solutions:

    • Fix the Function Module:

      • If the function module has errors, debug and correct them.
      • Ensure the function module is active and properly transported.
    • Correct Container Data:

      • Make sure the workflow container has all required data elements filled with valid data.
      • Adjust the workflow logic if necessary to populate container elements correctly.
    • Adjust Authorizations:

      • Provide the necessary authorizations to the workflow user or background user.
    • Modify Workflow Configuration:

      • Correct the container operation step in the workflow.
      • If the operation is obsolete or incorrect, update or replace it.
    • Debug the Workflow:

      • Use transaction SWUD or SWI1 with debugging enabled to step through the workflow execution.
