• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFRE_CON101 - Plausibility! Variant Number of Items after Function &1 at OP- Header &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WFRE_CON101 Plausibility! Variant Number of Items after Function &1 at OP- Header &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of SAP Workflow (WFRE = Workflow Runtime Error) and specifically relates to the plausibility check of the number of items in a variant after a certain function has been executed.
  
  "Variant Number of Items" refers to the number of items expected or defined in a variant (a set of parameters or conditions) used in the workflow or a related process.
  The error indicates that after executing a particular function (indicated by &1), the number of items in the variant does not match the expected or allowed number.
  The OP-Header &2 refers to the operation header or a specific object header in the workflow or process where this inconsistency was detected.
  
  In simpler terms:
  
  The workflow or process expected a certain number of items in a variant after a function was executed, but the actual number of items is not plausible or consistent with the expected number.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Variant Configuration:
  
  The variant used in the workflow or process is incorrectly configured, leading to an unexpected number of items.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency:
  
  The data processed by the function (&1) may have changed the number of items unexpectedly, possibly due to missing or extra entries.
  
  
  Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If there are custom enhancements or user exits influencing the workflow or variant processing, they might cause the number of items to be inconsistent.
  
  
  Incorrect Workflow Logic:
  
  The workflow step or function module might be incorrectly designed or called, leading to a mismatch in expected data.
  
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Variant Configuration:  
  
  Review the variant used in the workflow or process.
  Ensure that the number of items defined in the variant matches the expected number after the function execution.
  
  
  
  Analyze the Function &1:  
  
  Identify the function module or workflow step referenced by &1.
  Debug or trace the function to see how it manipulates the variant items.
  Check if the function is removing or adding items incorrectly.
  
  
  
  Check the Operation Header &2:  
  
  Investigate the object or header referenced by &2.
  Verify if the data associated with this header is consistent and complete.
  
  
  
  Debug the Workflow:  
  
  Use transaction SWI1 (Workflow Log) or SWI2_FREQ to analyze the workflow steps and errors.
  Debug the workflow runtime to see where the item count changes unexpectedly.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:  
  
  If custom code or user exits are involved, review them for logic errors affecting the variant items.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:  
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WFRE_CON101 for any known issues or patches.
  If the problem persists, consider raising a message with SAP Support including detailed logs and traces.

  SAP Modules:  
  
  This error is typically related to SAP Workflow (WF) but can appear in modules where workflow or variant processing is involved (e.g., MM, SD, PM).
  
  
  
  Debugging Tips:  
  
  Set breakpoints in the function module &1.  
  Check the internal tables or structures holding the variant items before and after the function execution.
  
  
  
  
  If you provide the actual values of &1 and &2 or the context (module, transaction, workflow), I can help you with more specific guidance.
